Interesting obituary right below this one:

  The funeral of Max Thom, the young             

man who was drowned Friday near the

railway bridge while running on the

logs, will be held at one o’clock Sunday

Another interesting announcement just above the Obituaries:

vorce from Minnie.   Thomas on the

ground that his wife treated him in a

cruel manner and refused to wash and

mend his clothing and get his meals.
