Louis (Lewis) W. Dulaney passed away yesterday morning after suffering the past three years with a bone tumor. He had done everything known to medical science but it was all of no avail. He was operated upon three times by the Mayo brother’s in Rochester, Minn., but the disease progressed right along, death resulting from hemorrhages of the jugular vein.

The funeral will be held at 2 o’clock tomorrow, Thursday afternoon at the Baptist Church, Rev. C. M. Foreman officiating.

He was married to Miss Susan Turner in 1877, and five children were born to them, one son, Frank, died in infancy. The surviving are Thomas, of Greenfield, Ia., Mabel, Mrs. Elton Booth, of this city, Don, D., of Casper, Wyo., Ina, Mrs. Robert Sprecker, of Los Angeles, Calif.
