DEATH OF FATHER
Mrs. Asa Bell received a telephone message that her father, Ellis Paxson

Tipton, Monday night.  Mr. Paxson had been ill for a number of months,
suffering from enlargement of the heart and bedfast for the past ten days,
but seemed much improved and on the day of his death his daughter was
getting the house warm so that he might sit up in a chair for a short
time.
The body was sent to Springfield, Mo., the old home, for burial.  Mrs.
Bell left Tuesday night for that place.
