He was supposed, as late as New Year's morning to be mending, if not out of danger, but unfavorable symptoms set in that day and he died on Friday morning, Jan. 2d. He was in his 20th year. He had been for a long time employed in the in- surance office of Kimball & Libbey and fre- quently evenings in the post office. He was a young man of good habits and general- ly well liked. He gave promise of a manhood of sturdy integrity and usefulness. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. GEORGE BYRUM and his brothers and sisters, have general sympathy in their bereavement. The funeral took place from the Presby- terian church on Sunday afternoon. Rev. Mr. WHITE, who officiated, paid a fitting tribute to his memory. The high school class of 1884 contributed a floral wreath and the Presbyterian Sabbath school class of which he was a member, a star and cres- cent, beside other floral gifts from friends. Messrs. A. W. KIMBALL, J. N. WARD, FRED. HANSON, WILL. CHAPMAN, HENRY BONG and FRED. HANCOCK officiated as pall- bearers. The remains were taken to Stevens Point on Monday for burial. ===========================================================================
