  • Notes 
    • Grim Reaper has claimed another of our aged residents in the person of Mr. Henry Decher. Deceased had conducted a blacksmith shop for a number of years but the past year was unable to engage in work. which was continued by his sons. Although not in the best of health his passing came as a shock to his many friends, heart failure being the cause of death. The bereaved family have the deepest sympathy of their many friends in their sad loss.
