Death

Mr. William Peters, the son of Mr Carsten Peters of this vicinity, died of appendicitis near Bismarck, North Dakota, on the 23rd inst, after week's illness. Mr. Peters went to that state about four weeks previous to his death, and was engaged in grain threshing. The death occurred at the home of his sister, Mrs. Delbert McVey. The remains were accompanied to Monticello by Mr. McVey and reached here last Monday evening. The funeral was held the day following at St. John's Lutheran church, the services being conducted by Rev. W. L. Schutz. The funeral was very large, thus evidencing the esteem with which the young man was regarded, and also the sympathy of the people for the mourning parents and other relatives. Mr. Peters was aged 24 years and 7 months. His untimely death, coming in the early morn of young manhood has cast a shadow across the threshold of a home, that will be sad and comfortless.
