Death of Mr. John Purvis

A very sad death was that of Mr. John Purvis, which occurred at Howard at 5 
o’clock on Saturday afternoon last, after a painful illness of about ten days.  
Mr. Purvis had every attention that the best physicians, his family and kind 
friends could give but the disease which took hold of his system so sternly 
baffled the skill of all and his decline was so rapid that he passed away 
almost before his friends were aware of his death.  Mr. Purvis was a successful 
merchant of Howard who had gained great confidence among the people by liberal, 
honest dealing and who death is a very sad blow to the community.  Mr. Purvis 
was a gentleman of fine physique, quite unassuming in his disposition, about 36 
years of age, a son of Mr. Marion Purvis, of this county and leaves a devoted 
wife, five small children besides a host of friends and relatives to mourn his 
death.  His remains were interred in the cemetery at Howard on Sunday 
afternoon.  The funeral service being conducted by Rev. W.T. England, at which 
a large concourse of sorrowing friends were present.  – The Butler Herald
