FROM SINKING VALLEY.

  Our people were very sorry to learn of the death of Mr. William 
Halen, of Antis township.  Mr. Halen had been a resident of our valley 
for several years prior to last spring, at which time he moved to the 
place presently occupied by the family.  Many did not even know of his 
sickness, therefore the news of his death was quite unexpected.  He has 
been a sufferer from a disease which removes many from the labors of 
life.  Mr. Halen was a member of the Catholic church and a good 
neighbor.  His death will be a loss to the community as well as a great 
loss to the family.  A wife and several children mourn his death.  May 
their loss be his gain.  The funeral took place on Tuesday morning at 
10 o'clock.  Services were held in the Catholic church.  Interment in 
the cemetery adjoining.
