Death of an Old Man

Archie McManigal, aged 72 years, died Monday morning at the home of his daughter, who lives in the south part of town. Mr. McManigal came here on a visit to his daughter and son J. H. McManigal(?) from his home in Nebraska several days ago. Last Saturday night he took suddenly ill with a congestive chill, and did not rally. The remains will be shipped back to Nebraska, but it has not been determined at what place, as there are several places where he has relatives. Although he was well advanced in years, he was in good health and did not look to be more than fifty, but it is not often one can rally from the grip of a congestive chill. The surviving members of the family have the sympathy of the community.
