Mr. William Romain Sr. died quite suddenly on Thursday, Aug. 31st, at his 
daughter's home in Eau Claire, aged 84 years.  The real cause of death is 
said to have been old age although bloody diarrhea troubled him greatly 
towards the last, and hastened the end.  He was up and around, however but
a short time before.

The body was brought to this city, on Saturday noon train.  A large number 
of relatives, neighbors and old friends, from Troubled Waters settlement
and elsewhere, met the body at the depot, and escorted it to its last resting
place.  Rev. W. W. Hurd officiated at the funeral.

The deceased left one son Wm. Romain Jr. of Troubled Waters, two daughters
who live in Washington, one in Kansas and one in Eau Claire and two at 
Troubled Waters.  His wife was buried some 14 years before him.
