The funeral was held at his late residence on Monday, the 12th, conducted by Rev. Wm. H.

John DeJongh, a son-in-law and family from Freeport and Miss Lydia Dellinger, a sister and her neice Etta Mullin from Chicago were here to the funeral. The children at home, all having arrived at the age of discretion, will continue to maintain the home circle and thus the family will not suffer futher dissolution unless death should again invade its portals."
