The funeral took place on Tuesday morning. Chas. KRIBS, a well-to-do German farmer of Prairie DuRocher, was out picking pecans the other day, accompanied by his wife and several children. He sent his wife and the boys to one side while he himself selected another. When the children had filled their sacks, the mother told one of the boys to get the sack which his father had gathered so that they could go home. The boy walked up to the place where he had left his father a short time ago and found him lying by the side of the filled sack stark and dead. The doctor pronounced it a case of heart disease. DIED: Saturday, Dec. 2nd, at 4 o'clock A.M., John GOSS, of Ottawa, Kansas, aged 84 years.
