Died:
On Thursday morning our vicinty was greatly shocked to hear of the sudden death of well known resident Wencel Tuma, Sr. aged 73. The deceased has been in poor health for the past two years and the last few days felt greatly relieved. The evening before his death he spent in cheer and apparent good health wth his wife and family. After retiring he peacefully fell asleep never to awaken.

Mr. Tuma was the last of our pioneer settlers, coming from Bohemia with his parents when eighteen years of age and settling on a farm where he resided up to the time of his death.

About sixteen years ago he retired, transferring his farm to his son. He was a kind and generous father and neighbor, and a highly respected citizen. That he was held in high esteem by all who know him was shown by the large cortege that followed his remains to their last reasting place.

A wife, one daughter, Mrs. John Marek, and two sons Wencel of Gibson and John of this vicinity, survive to mourn his loss, also a large circle of relatives and and grandchildren.

His remains were laid at rest on Saturday afteroon in St. Wencel's Catholic cemetery. Rev. Cipin performing the last sad rites. May he rest in piece.

Jos. Kohout, Jr., of Brillion, Dr. C.J. Skwor of Algoma and Adolph Skwor of Bessmer, Mich., were here to attend the funeral of their uncle, Mr. Wencel Tuma.
