MADISON MAKEEVER,

For many years a resident of Jasper county, after a protracted and painful illness, died at his home in Newten township on last Tuesday, aged 60 years, 11 months and 18 days. A post-mortem examination showed that death was caused by a enneer located on the lower part of the stomach, and that no skill could have prevented death. Mr. Makeever was well and favorably known as a good citizen, neighbor and friend, who by thrift and industry had accumulated a handsome competence. To the family and immidiate friends his death is an irreparable loss. Funeral services, under the auspices of the Masonic were conducted by Rev. David Handley, Wednesday afternoon.— The remains were interred in th : i Makeever cemetery.
