Kellogg, of Rock Island and Miss Susie Roush at home here; also two brothers, Elmer and Eugene Roush of this vicinity. The funeral cortege will leave the E. N. Roush home at one o’clock Friday afternoon for Esgate, where services will be held, Rev. Ed Lowe of Baldwin officiating. Interment in Esgate cemetery.
