Sudden Death cf an Old Settler
The announcement of the death of
William Coleman generally known as
Uncle Billy Tuesday May 29th
came as a great surprise to all It was
known that he was in failing health and
had been for some time but his serious
condition was not understood by any
body His ailment was a stomach
trouble and the end came unexpectedly
at his home in this city
Uncle Billy has been for years a
familiar character and face on our
streets and his work as a land agent and
as a writer concerning this county has
made him known far and wide For a
quarter of a century he has been a resi
dent of Red Willow county Kind
hearted and of generous impulses he
will be long remembered by many
