DEATH OF THOMAS W. SLOUGH
	Last Tuesday morning this community was greatly shocked to hear 
of the death of Thomas W. Slough, Sr., one of the oldest settlers in 
this part of the state.  For the past twenty-four years Mr. Slough has 
resided with his brother, William, living about one and a half miles 
west of town, and was well and favorably known to all the old residents.
	Mr. Slough was up and around in apparent usual health until the 
time of his death.  A short before he expired he called upon his brother 
who was in an ajoining room to com to his assistance, when he was laid 
upon a lounge and expired in a very few minutes.
	The sudden death of the deceased is supposed to have been caused 
by heart failure.  Medical aid was summoned, but arrived after he had 
breathed his last.
	Thomas Slough, was born in Leighton Buzzord, Bedfordshire, Eng., 
seventy years ago the 17th of last September.  When young, he was engaged 
as engineer upon the London and N. W. R. Ry., in England, his brother
William acting as fireman for him.  He afterwards spent two years in 
Russia at the same employment during the Crimean war.
	He came to America in 1856, located near the place where he died.
