Obituary: Our quiet town was startled very much yesterday by the sudden death of Ernest 
CORDUM, a young man living about two miles from town. He was felling a tree from 
which to make rails when a large limb broke off from the tree and struck him on the head 
with such force as to kill him instantly. An inquest today developed the above facts, and 
the corpse was taken to Bunker Hill for interment.
