W. and Jake BECKLEY of this city, aged 73 years. The sad news of the loss of their mother was received by wire Tuesday by the two sons living here, and although the aged woman had not been in good health for some time, yet the news came as a shock to them. The last word previously received had been that the mother was considerably better. Mrs. BECKLEY was the mother of seven children, five sons and two daughters, all of whom are living. Her life has been a long and useful one and her going is mourned by many. The funeral took place in Fairbury Thursday afternoon. We join with a large circle of friends of the family here in expressing our very sincere sympathy to the sorrowing ones in their great affliction.
