A Sad Death

The death of Harry Griep, who expired Monday night at his home two miles east of this city, has cast a glom over this community. The cause of his death was perforation of the bowels, following an attack of typhoid fever, and was ill two weeks, and notwithstanding the best medical attendance passed peacefully away. He was aged 30 years and leaves a wife and four children and many warm friends to mourn his demise. He was a member of the M.W. A. and carried a policy for $2000 in that order.

To the broken-hearted wife and fatherless babies who sit in sorrow where Harry's footsteps shall never again find echo, the Sentinel joins with the many friends of the family in extending deepest sympathy.

Funeral Arrangements will not be made until a brother arrives from Iowa.

Last Sad Rites

The funeral of Harry Griep took place from the Pioneer hall last Thursday morning under the auspices of the Modern Woodmen of America. The services were conducted by P. Monroe Smock, who paid a tribute to the deceased. The music was especially fitting for the occasion and was beautifully rendered by a quartet composed of C. S. French, F. P. French, Mrs. E. E. Cox and Edna Stuve. They sand in a sweet and most expressive manner "Sometime We'll Understand," "Nearer My God to Thee" and "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere."

After the services the remains were taken to Payette and tenderly consigned to mother earth by a delegation of Modern Woodmen.

Harry Griep, may your sleep be sweet.
