DIED. March 23, 1889, at his home in the Town of Magnolia of paralysis, Mr.
W. H. Bump, aged 63 years. Funeral at the house Monday at 1 o'clock p.m. A
report reached us yesterday morning that the above named deceased had
passed away, but upon enquiry of his relatives in this city, we learned
that he was very low, but still alive last evening. We learn from the same
source, Mr. F. W. Tolles that he died this morning at 5:30 o'clcok and his
son is now in town for the purpose of securing Undertaker Potter to take
charge of the remains. Mr. Bump has been a prominent farmer of the Town of
Magnolia for over 30 years and his many relatives and friends throughout
the country, who will regret his death very much.

From our frequent meetings with him we supposed that he was a usually
healthy man of his age, and have but recently learned that he had been
troubled for some time with a gradually increasing or creeping paralysis,
which has final taken him away.
