Obituary

A Sad Bereavement

Mr. Wm. F. Crank, age twenty eight years died I this City on the fifteenth inst., of pneumonia. Of a naturally quite disposition, Mr. Crank made many friends by strict attention to business and pleasant manners.  He was conscious to the last and knew the end was approaching, but with true Christian fortitude he endeavored to console his sorrowing wife, and resignedly yielded up the life to the God that gave it. The funeral services were taken charge of by the Knights of Honor, of which order deceased was a member.  The funeral cortege assembled at the Baptist church, were an appropriate service was held.
