C. in Bulger on Tuesday evening. She was a highly respected lady and had resided in this vicinity for years. She had been a member of the Center U. P. church since its organization.

Shortly after ten o'clock on Sunday night William STEEL, of Sturgeon, found the dead bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Louis CHAMBORDON, of O'Hara street, lying at the eastern end of the platform at Sturgeon station. They had been visiting at Willow Grove and were on their way home. The railroad employees believe that the couple were killed by a section of No. 5, which passes Sturgeon station about 10 o'clock. This train is a fast one and makes but few stops between here and Columbus. At the point where the accident happened there is a curve, which concealed the unfortunate couple from the view of the engineer. The couple were each about fifty years of age and are survived by two sons, the oldest, Numa, is married and lives with his father-in-law, Mr. CARRE, out Robb's valley, and Lucien is in the employ of August VALENTOUR.

Four branches of La Solidarite were represented and had 200 men in line. The services were in charge of the latter society and the Citizens band of McDonald, of which the dead man had been a member, played a dirge as the funeral procession wended it way to Arlington cemetery, where they both were laid to rest. *Compiler's note: In a "resolution of respect" (in French) following this obit, the information is given that the wife's name was Victorine, and the date of the accident was March 23, 1902.
