JOE SELLERS - News reached us here last Wednesday that JOE SELLERS of the 24th district had died the night before. Mr. Sellers is quite an old man and has been sick for some time with typhoid fever. He is one of seven brothers who constituted rather a remarkable family. The youngest of these brothers is over 60 years old and this is first brother to die. They have lived to ripe old age and only a short time ago, the seven had their pictures taken in a group, which formed an interesting group. Mr. Sellers stood well in his community and his death is regretted by a host of friends and relatives. His remains were laid to rest in the Sellers graveyard last Wednesday.
