                     A SUDDEN TAKING OFF

George W.Weber, youngest son of Mr.and Mrs.J.A. Weber, died at the home of his 
parents in this village last Wednesday forenoon, aged 18 years.

The young man had been sick but a few days, and almost up to the our of his 
death had not been considered dangerously ill. Realizing that his end was 
rapidly a approaching, and being conscious all the time, he requested his father 
to hold him in his arms and he died in his father's embrace. The disease of 
which he died is said to have been peritonitis-an affection of the covering of 
the stomach.

People who have passed the summit of life's hill are expected to die; but when a 
young person, full of life, with a bright and happy prospect before him passed 
suddenly into the unknown, it seems harder.

The funeral services were conducted from the residence on Friday afternoon, Rev. 
S.G.Anderson officiating.
