Homer Grant Died and Was Buried at Chestnut, 111.

Homer, the 13-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Seldon Grant, whose serious sickness was spoken of in these columns several days ago, died the night following the receipt of the message here. It seems that the family had partaken of some eanned article the Saturday before which gave them ptomaine poison. Mr. and Mrs. Grant were quite sick but mot nearly so much as the son, whose chronic trouble was made worse and it doubtless hastened his

death. Several relatives from here attended the funeral, which occurred at Chestnut. Seldon and his wife will have the sincere sympathy of all his old Rensselaer friends.
