Old and Respected Citizen Dies

Mr. G.W. Yount, age 81 years, died at his home several miles
east of Rayville on Wednesday of last week and was buried 
on Thursday. The deceased is survived  by one son and two daughters,
the later being Mrs. P.M. Greer and Mrs. Ed Hunter.

Mr. Yount has made his home on the Mengel property east of Rayville
for a number of years, successfully engaged in farming. He bore the reputation
of being a straight-forward and thrifty man and a good and dependable citizen.
He lived a long and useful life, full of comfort and pleasure to his devoted
family; and while they regret deeply his taking away, the consolation is theirs
that he was spared to them  through many years.

The members of the sorrowing family and intimate friends of the venerable
old gentleman have the sympathy of a wide circle of friends in this dark hour 
of their grief.
