Weather Forecast. Saturday fair: colder North winds. Obituary. Frank Melvill Gessinger was bcrn in Mitchel county, Kansas, March 25, 1874. When six years old his : parents moved to Concordia, Cloud county, Kansas. When twelve years old he began to learn the printer's trade, which he mastered thoroughly and made it his life work. He with his fathei and three sisters came to Decatur, Ind., nine years ago. He worked in the different printing offices here since, excepting the year he served in the army. He was m arried October 4, 1898, to Miss Laura Hughes, and to this union were born two children—a son now four years old and daughter now two. They with their mother, Frank’s father, two sisters and one brother remain to mourn the loss of him, who died December 2, 1904. His mother, three brothers and three sisters have preceded him to that better 1 “home” above. Frank has gone, we shall see him no more: Until God wills that we meet on the other shore. , MARKET REPORT. Accurate prices paid by Decatur merchants for various products. Cor 1 rected every day.
