                       Death of Abram Beckner

E. E. Beckner, of this city received a message yesterday from Roswell,
South Dakota, saying that his father died at 6 o'clock Tuesday evening,
January 1, 1895.  He had been sick for four weeks of typhoid fever.  Mr.
Beckner had lived in this county at two different times, first about
thirty-five years ago.  He then moved to La Porte, Indiana, where he
lived several years when he returned to this county.  Ten years ago he
moved to South Dakota where he has since lived.  He was 61 years of age
last June.

His wife, who survives him was Miss Angelina Drake, a sister of Henry
and Everett Drake, who reside north of Osage.  To them were born seven
children, five boys and two girls all of them living, but all away from
home except the youngest boy.  Their son George, who has been living
with Mr. Buttolph's in Rock township, left for Roswell Tuesday morning,
but probably did not reach there in time to see his father alive.
