Death Arrives Unexpectedly to Frank Buell, Residing on Island - Mother Prostrated.

Typhoid fever, with which he was seized last week, caused his demise. The young lad did not complain of feeling unwell until about a week ago when he was suddenly overcome with the virulent disease. The fever made such inroads into the little body that it was unable to withstand its progress, passing away most unexpectedly yesterday. The shock of the death prostrated the mother and she herself was in a serious condition for a while, although today she is considerably improved. His mother, two sisters and three half-brothers survive him. In respect of the deceased lad, the Hopewell school, which he attended, will be closed for the remainder of the week until after the funeral which will be closed for the remainder of the week until after the funeral, which will be held from the German Lutheran church at Grandview Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
