Emmet Kinnison: At the home of his sister, Mrs. P.W.Grubbs, in this city on Wednesday morning, January 21, at 7 A.M. of consumption. Emmet Kinnison, aged 28 years, 2 months and 15 days.

He is gone. A young man of promise whom any one might well be proud to call friend. Emmet was a brother of Mrs. P. W. Grubbs, and among his other relative here are his uncles and aunts, Mr. and Mrs. R. R. Skeels, Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Pangborn, Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Drake, and Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Riner. He was well known in the part of the county, having lived here for the greater part of five years. He has always born the reputation of being a kind hearted, honest, and upright boy, and many indeed there are who will feel sadness at his death. He is dead, but his memory will live long in the hearts of his friends as that of a good, true man, whose life has been one of sobriety and true moral worth. Throughout his long struggle with the dread disease he has been patient and uncomplaining, and his death came as does a quiet sleep, fit ending for such a life.

At Danver Station, Iroquois County, June 20, Angie, wife of John Kroodsma, formerly of Henry.
Our obituary column chronicles the death of the beloved wife of John Kroodsma in Iroquois county, who died suddenly on the 20th alt., who is well known to many of our citizens, having lived about Henry for the last 15 years. A girl born on the 11th inst., survives the deceased. The death was almost fully unexpected. The friends supposed she was past danger. The loss is almost irreparable to the devoted husband.
