Where on the bosom of her God.
She rests from human woe.

Since my last communication we have lost by the death of Mr. Edison
Barker and Mr. R. L. Rice, two highly respected and much esteemed
citizens from our midst. 

Mr. Edison Barker, who died at 2p.m.on Friday the 11th inst., was the only 
remaining child of E. W. Barker, who settled at Brookside when Edison was
quite young. With the growing years he had grown more and more into the
respect of his acquaintances and his somewhat unexpected death has cast 
a gloom over the entire community. He leaves a wife and four children, who 
have the sympathy of all, in their bereavement.

Mr. Ransom L Rice, whose death occurred early on the morning of
Wednesday the 15th inst., was one of the earliest settlers in this part
of the country, and has done much by his personal efforts in bringing
the place to it's present state of development. By his sterling
qualities and genial disposition he had won the esteem of all who knew
him. He leaves a wife and brother and quite a few grown children.

Killed in the Woods.- 

A sad accident occurred at the camp of James Conniff, on the Peshtigo
river, about 3 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, resulting in instant
death to a young man about 21 years of age, named John Morrison whose
parents lived about 2 miles from West Depere, and a nephew of Wm.
Morrison of this city. It appears the deceased was trying to roll a log
that laid a little in the road, out of the way. It being on uneven
ground, it was necessary to roll the log uphill, which he was trying to
do with a cant hook, standing on the lower side. The hook slipped, and
he commenced running backwards down before the log, as it came toward
him, his heel struck a stub, he fell on his back, his head striking
another log, and the first one rolled down over him from his feet to his
head. The deathblow fractured the skull, which looked as if done in the
fall, killing him instantly. He was brought to town, arriving Thursday
afternoon, when W. B. Mitchell, as undertaker prepared the remains for
burial. Wm. Morrison accompanied them by freight train Friday morning to
the father's home near Depere. 

A little girl of Mr. Lars Hanson died Thursday morning. Dr. Smith
pronounced the disease to be spinal meningitis.
