      Death of an Aged Citizen

      David M. Musselman Succumbs to an Attack of Pneumonia - Was in his 73rd Year

      Mr. David M. Musselman died at his late residence on Cameron street at 2 p.m. on Monday in his 73rd year.

      Deceased had been ailing for several months but had been seriously ill for only about two weeks of pneumonia.

      His passing ends a useful life and one which will be greatly missed by a large portion of the community. He was ever willing to help those in need and did untold good in an unostentatious manner.

      Deceased has been a resident of Berlin for about twenty years. Previous to moving here he lived at Port Elgin, to which place he had gone from Elmira.

      Deceased is survived by the widow, three sons and four daughters. They are Solomon and John Dalrymple, Assiniboia; David B., Lydia, Rebecca, Berlin; Mrs. John Lowe, Buffalo, N. Y.; Mrs. W. J. McArthur, Dalrymple.

      The funeral takes place on Thursday at 2 p.m., from the house to the East End Mennonite Church, and interment will take place in the cemetery there.
