Mr. Prevo has always followed farming and was a man of whom every body spoke a good word. A kind and loving father and many a poor family remembers the help received from him when they met adversity. He was always generous to the needy. He long since joined the Masonic fraternity and continued to remain a member. A very large concourse of people attended the funeral on Monday. Rev. Tommy Bailiff preached the funeral discourse at the house. He was buried in the York Cemetery. File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/il/clark/obits/p/p6100000.txt File size: 2 Kb
