Mr. Herbert Clapper, of Topeka, Kansas, formerly an Afton boy, died in that place Saturday, after a serious illness of typhoid malaria, aged 28 years. Mr. Clapper went to Kansas about a year ago, and was doing nicely when stricken with this disease. During his illness he was attended by Mr. A.C. Derby, formerly of Afton, and everything that could be done for Herbert was done, but the malaria had secured too firm a foothold, and after days of suffering he at last passed away. Herbert Clapper was the only son of Mr. and Mrs. George Clapper of this place [Afton, Chenango Co., NY], and was well liked by all who knew him. As soon as it became evident that his illness would prove fatal, our citizens decided that his remains should be brought to his boyhood home for burial and in a short time the amount necessary to defray the expenses of conveying the body to Afton,--about $100,--was raised, and as soon as the news of his death reached here the money was immediately forwarded. This is genuine evidence of the liberality of our citizens, and proves them to be good Samaritans. The remains are expected to reach Afton the last of this week. This is indeed a hard blow to the aged father and mother who, only a few months ago, watched their boy leave home and depart for another state, full of life and manhood, and now to be returned to them cold and stiff in death They have the warmest sympathy of the entire community in their great affliction, as also does the sister, relatives and friends of the deceased.
