BODY BROUGHT BACK
Morris Witherell’s Remains Buried at Sumnerville

Pokagon, Feb. 3—The remains of Morris Witherell, who died last week in San
Francisco, Cal., arrived in this village on the 10:45 o’clock train Monday
morning.  Clarence Witherell, a brother of the deceased, was in charge.
	The funeral party left San Francisco last Wednesday.  The trip was delayed
because of the storms of the west which tied up traffic.
	Morris Witherell was sick only twenty-four hours before death. The cause of
death as given was ulceration of the stomach.  He was 30 years of age, and had
been in the west only about a year.
	The funeral services were held at the home of the deceased’ parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Duane Witherell, at 1 o’clock yesterday afternoon.  Burial took place at
Sumnerville.
	_______________________________________________________ 
The death of Mr. Witherell resulted directly from ptomaine poisoning caused by
eating canned  beans at the hotel where he was staying.
