                          Death of Levi Lindley

After an illness of but a few days with typhoid pneumonia, Levi O. Lindley
died at the home of Fred Otto in this city on Tuesday, Feb. 21, 1892 at
5:30 o'clock p. m., aged 21 years and 8 days.

He was born in Cedar township this county on the 13th day of February 1872.
Nearly five years ago he came to this city and engaged with Samson & Lezotte
in their drug store and has since that time, been continuously in their
employ.

On Saturday, Feb. 11, he was for the first time confined to his bed and
gradually failed until his disease terminated in death.  A short funeral
service will be held at the Congregational church in this city, conducted
by Pastor Gist, after which the body will be taken to Rock Creek where
further funeral rites will be held in the Norwegian Lutheran church, and
conducted by Rev. J. Olson, when his remains will be interred in the
cemetery in Rock township.

Levi, as he is familiarly known in this city, was a young man of bright
promise, steady and industrious, generous, and obliging.  He was held in
high esteem by all who knew him.

His parents, who together with several brothers and sisters survive him,
reside on a farm near Meroa in Cedar township.

The drug firms of our city will close their places of business during the
progress of the funeral services here.
