and was interred Sunday afternoon in Many cemetery.

a favorite blacksmith and wheelwright.  He had been in ill health
several months and in a critical condition for the past three weeks.
He was a progressive citizen, advocator of better living conditions,
education and public improvements and numbered his friends by the
legion.

Dees of Ajax, and W. E. and J. T. Dees of Many.
