DEATH OF G.V. PETTIT.
Resident of Worthington Drops Dead at Backoo, N.D., Friday.
Word was received here Saturday that George V. Pettit, a will [well?] known resident, and former merchant of this city had dropped dead at Backoo, N.D., on the afternoon of the previous day, the cause of death being heart disease. The remains were sent to this city, arriving here Sunday afternoon and were met at the depot by a delegation of the Odd Fellows lodge, of which the deceased was a member, and escorted to the undertaking rooms of Chaney & Mackay.
The funeral was held Monday from the Presbyterian church, under the auspices of the Odd Fellows, and was attended by a large concourse of friends of the family and representatives of the Odd Fellows and Workmen orders. The religious services were conducted by Rev. Wilder, after which Rev. Fletcher delivered a strong sermon. The Odd Fellows then took charge of services at the church and also at the grave, and the deceased was laid to rest with the solemn impressive service of that order. The pall-bearers were selected from the members of the I.O.O.F. and the A.O.U.W. as follows: E.W. Goff, John Mitchell, Loren Clark, Newton Fauskee, W.D. Boddy, L.B. Leonard.
George Vanverge Pettit was born at Flushing, N.Y., May 28th, 1859 and at an early age removed with his parents to Jo Daviess county, Illinois. On December 4, 1882 he was united in marriage to Miss Delia Viall, who still survives him. To this union three sons were born, two of whom, Kennith and Ivan, survive him.
Besides the widow and two sons he leaves to mourn his untimely death, a mother three brothers and four sisters, as follows: Mrs. Mary E. Pettit, Minneapolis; J.D. Pettit, Backoo, N.D.; J.H. Pettit, Macoun, Saskatchewan, Canada; J.A. Pettit, Pendleton, Oregon; Mrs. A.J. Kitchen, Minneapolis; Mrs. J.W. McLeod, McCoun, Sask.; Mrs. G.L. Cray, Cumberland, Wis.; and Mrs. F.W. Hewitt, Minneapolis.
Mr. Pettit was well and favorably known throughout Nobles county, having conducted a meat market in Worthington up until about a year ago, when ill health compelled his retirement from active business.
Mr. Pettit was the fifth member of his family to meet death in the same quick unexpected manner, his father, sister and two brothers of his father passing away in the same tragic way.
Among the relatives from abroad who were present at the funeral were the mother of the deceased, Mrs. Pettit, of Minneapolis, J.D. Pettit, Backoo, N.D., and Mrs. G.L. Cray, Cumberland, Wisconsin.

Cora Lucille, the six-year-old daughter of Walter H. Paine, died at the home of her parents in Hersey township Monday morning last. The immediate cause of her demise was heart trouble, but the child has been afflicted for some time with a peculiar malady which baffled the skill of physicians, as it partook of the nature of a number of diseases. Although sorely afflicted and suffering intensely at times, still she was a patient sufferer, bearing her burden of ill-health with a fortitude, well worthy of emulation by older persons.
The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon from the Methodist church and was attended by one of the largest concourses of friends that have attended a funeral in this city for some time. She was a child beloved by all who come in contact with her and all join in extending sympathy to the afflicted family.
