DIED

(News January 18, 1900)

Peter Erickson, of Gary township, died Sunday, January 14th, 1900, of typhoid fever.

Mr. Erickson leaves a wife and nine children, many of them small, to struggle along without the strong support of a kind and loving husband and father. Only those who have been similarly placed can realize what a great sorrow has fallen upon them. The family have the sympathy of all in their sad bereavement. The funeral was held on Monday.
