A Sad Death
Fred Hamlin, a Popular Young Man, Passes Away after a Long Illness
Fred, eldest son of S. A. Hamlin, died at a late hour on Monday night after a
lingering illness.  He has been sick for over three years and has suffered
terribly.  He has received the best of medical aid, both here and in California,
and his father and mother have been untiring in their efforts to humor him in
every wish, in the hope that he might be restored to health.  He was taken to
California, and different localities in that State were tried at the suggestion
of physicians and friends, but while he would show an improvement for a time
that would give his parents and relatives a ray of hope, it would only be
temporary, and gradually the disease sapped his life.  He was patient through it
all, and when the summons came to relieve him of his suffering he fell asleep,
never to awaken on this earth.
He had made a brave fight for life, but when he realized that there was little
hope he as bravely met the inevitable.  He was a favorite with his associates
and a young man who would, had he lived, made his mark in the world.  He had
just passed the mile post of his majority, and was ready to begin an active and
useful life.  His parents and relatives have the sympathy of the whole community
in this hour of their great sorrow.
The funeral will take place from the Baptist Church this afternoon at 2:30
o'clock.  Friends and acquaintances are invited to attend.
