PROMINENT FARMER DIES

Robert C. Graf, prominent farmer and resident of this community, died at Eureka Springs, Ark., at 1 o'clock P.M. last Saturday. Mr. Graf was not thought to be in serious condition until a short time before his death.

Since having influenza last year, he has been ailing however and had developed Bright's disease and dropsy and it was the latter disease which resulted in death.

A few weeks ago in an effort to regain his health, he went to Gueda Springs, Ks., and a few days before his death, he went to Eureka Springs, Ark., to take treatments, but his condition gradually grew worse until he finally passed away.

The remains were brought back here to the family home and funeral services were held at the home and the Lutheran church Tuesday afternoon. Rev. PH. Roesel delivered the funeral discourse which was attended by a large gathering of the sorrowing friends and relatives of the family. Interment was made in the Lutheran cemetery north of town.

The widow Mrs. R.C. Graf, three children, Edna, age 12, Victor, age 10, and Robert, Jr., age 3 years; 3 brothers, 3 sisters and an aged mother are left to mourn his departure from this life.
