DIED.
McCOY—In this city, of spinal meningitis, Monday evening at 7:20 o'clock, Will Morgan, youngest child of Mr. and Mrs. B.W. McCoy. Will Morgan was born in Clayton, Ill, May 1st, 1875, and at the time of his death was 16 years, 10 months and 13 days old. When just about to cross the threshold, to manhood's estate he was suddenly stricken, and his young life went out, leaving sorrow and desolation in the broken home circle. He was a boy of industrious habits, affectionate disposition, and especially devoted to his mother, which is the most eloquent tribute that can can be spoken of the living or the dead. The bereaved family have the warmest sympathy of a host of friends. Funeral took place from the family residence Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. M.H. Bradley of the First Presbyterian church, conducted the funeral services.
