Obituary
Uncle Jimmy Maybell is Dead. James Maybell, one of the old settlers of Mineral Point, and a highly respected citizen, died suddenly at his home in this city, this Thursday morning. He had been somewhat ill last week, but it was supposed he had fully recovered. While sitting on a chair at about 8 o'clock on Thursday, he fell back and in a few moments breathed his last.
Uncle Jimmy was a member of the Masonic order, and was for many years Tyler of Mineral Point Lodge. He was an earnest christian and could be seen, when not at work, sitting at his window reading the Bible.
His funeral will take place on Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, under the direction of Mineral Point Lodge, F. & A. M.
All Masons are requested to attend.
