JAS. W. RUSSELL
Died Tuesday Night After a Long Illness.

JAs. W.Russell, who was born and raised on the farm just east of Bonanza, died 
there last Tuesday night at about 8 o'clock, after an illness of several months, 
death being due to a general breaking down of the digestive organs. He had been 
a terrible sufferer and bore his troubles with patience, knowing that the end 
was not far off. Before his death he had made some requests regarding his 
funeral arrangements, one of them being that Rev.Skentelbury be permitted to 
preach the funeral sermon.

He leaves a widow, four sons and three daughters, two children having died in 
infancy. The living children are Bert, Charles, Lon, Jesse of this place; 
Mrs.W.A.Cain, Mrs.James Grace, Della Russell of Hastings.

The funeral will be held Saturday, probably at the house and Rev.Skentelbury 
will officiate if he can be secured. The Masons will have charge of the burial 
which will take place in Lakeside Cemetery.

Deceased was born Feb. 26, 1846, and was married Nov. 27, 1867 to Rebecca Knapp 
of this township.
