OBITUARY.
Died-Arthur E. MILL, at the residence of W.R. MILL, in
Correctionville, of pneumonia, Saturday, January 7, 1893, aged 18
years, 11 months and 28 days. Mr. MILL was born in Pierce county,
Wisconsin, and at an early age removed with his parents to
Minnesota, and a few years later to Iowa, near Schaller, where he
continued to reside until about five years ago, when he went to
Correctionville, and since that time has made it home when not
employed elsewhere. He early learned the printer's trade, and for
some months prior to his death had been working on the Mail at
Moville. Some three weeks ago his brother received a telegram
saying that he had been taken with pneumonia the night before and
was seriously ill. Mr. MILL dispatched for him to come up on the
evening train if able. He did so and was taken to his brother's
home where everything was done for his relief that medical skill
and the most watchful care could accomplish. But all to no
purpose, the disease had fastened itself upon him so firmly that
no human agency could have any effect, and he passed away
Saturday morning as stated above. Mr. MILL was a young man of
exemplary habits, amiable and obliging in disposition, and
quickly won the respect and esteem of those with whom he
associated. Just entering upon manhood, with bright prospects,
his death is peculiarly sad and calls forth the warmest sympathy
of the entire community for those who are left with a broken
family circle.
