DEATH OF WILLIAM EDGE Mr. J. L. Edge has Gone to Troy, Ohio to Attend Funeral. Mr. J. L. Edge of this City, who received a telegram on last Saturday announcing the death of his brother, William, left this morning for Troy, Ohio, to be in attendance at the funeral. Mr. Edge had been in failing health with stomach trouble for the past year or more, but not until recently had his condition become serious and about a week or two ago was compelled to take his bed- Sc from that time on he gradually grew weaker until relieved by death, which occurred on Saturday last. Mr. Edge reached the age of three score and nine years and during which time was esteemed and respected by all who knew him. He leaves a wife and one daughter to mourn his loss and which will be felt very keenly. He was a fervent member of the Methodist church and the funeral services will be held from there tomorrow afternoon and interment will be made at that place.
