MR. AMBROSE SEARL

Mr. Ambrose Searl, whose demise was briefly mentioned in last weekıs issue,
died very suddenly and without warning at his home on Monday afternoon, Feb.
9th, and had he lived until the following Saturday, the 15th, he would have
been seventy-nine years of age.  He had been in poor health for several
months but was again able to be up and about, and that same forenoon he had
been up town, visiting with various friends and acquaintances and making
preparations to celebrate his birthday with a dinner for his G. A. R.
comrades and the news of his sudden death was a great shock to the entire
community.

Victory, a daughter of Jefferson Victory, to which union were born two
children, Lenna, now Mrs. Strutz of Superior and Eugene A. Searl of this
city.

Mr. Searl was a man of sterling qualities as a man of loyalty to home and
family, a neighbor and friend to everyone.  He was a member of the John E.
Perkins Post No. 98, G. A. R. and a member of the Soldiersı Relief
Commission and always took an active part in all local affairs of a
patriotic nature.

Mr. Searl lived a life of every day christianity as a man of good deeds
wherever he could minister them to others.  Besides the sorrowing widow and
two children who are left to mourn the loss of a kind and loving husband and
father, there is one grandson, John W. Foley and a wide circle of friends.

Funeral services were held from the home on Thursday afternoon, Feb. 12,
with interment in the Augusta cemetery, the Rev. J. T. Kneen of the M. E.
