PETE M. CURRIER DEAD
Was Found Frozen to Death a Short Distance From His Home - Funeral Wednesday
The news of the death of Pete M. Currier, an old resident of this county, is something that was surprising to his many friends in this city and community.
Owing to the fact that Mr. Currier was in town last Saturday evening, having come in town on horse back and some of his neighbors seeing his horse around the place and finding he was not at home they notified the city authorities and early Monday morning they began searching for him and unfortunately found him some distance from his home. It could easily be seen that just a little distance from the roadside he had been thrown off the horse and had been dragged a few rods farther where he was found frozen perfectly stiff.
He was unmarried and lived on his small farm a short distance from town. He leaves one sister, Mrs. P.G. Anderson, of this city to mourn his loss besides his many numerous friends who will greatly miss him.
Funeral services were conducted by Rev. over the remains in this city Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock
