                   Died at the Poor Farm
                   
                   HENRY COOLIDGE, aged about 50 years,
                 died at the county farm yesterday morn-
                 ing, where he had been for twelve years.
                 He had no family, and little is known
                 about him, exept that he lived at Kan-
                 kakee before coming here. Three years 
                 ago he suffered a stroke of paralysis,
                 and had been very feeble since. He
                 weighed over 300 pounds, and was known
                 as "Big Henry." The remains were interred
                 in a box, as it was impossible to obtain
                 a coffin large enough for them.
