Charles Brownell of Elk Creek, died very suddenly last Friday morning.  He was coming up out of an old well which he had cleaned.  When near the top he called for help and immediately expired.  He was troubled with heart disease, but was feeling usually well that morning.  It is supposed that over exertion in climbing out of the sell caused the bursting of a blood vessel.  The remains of Mr. Brownell were buried Sunday.  The funeral procession consisted of over eighty teams and more people attended than could enter the church, which goes to show that Mr. Brownell was highly esteemed and a friend to everyone.

Mrs. John Sweet died Sunday morning at 2 o'clock, of pneumonia.  She was sick only one week.  The funeral was held at her late residence on Tuesday and attended by a large number of friends.
