Necrological. - All that was mortal of poor old Marion Swaim (sic) passed 
away on Sunday evening. He died in the Central Hotel on Main street in town, 
sourrounded (sic) by a few friends who did not forget him in his hour of 
death. 

Marion Swaim at one time was the wealthiest man in town, but the poor fellow 
died a pauper, and without even the knowledge of a single relative to 
communicate with. He was buried by those who remembered him in his palmiest 
days. The funeral rite was performed by the Rev. Robt. Vaughn of the 
Methodist Church.
