Lester B. Knickerbocker Died At Home of Son Today.

Lester B. Knickerbocker, 58 years of age, passed away at the home of his son, Ross, in the east part of the city at 6 o’clock this Saturday morning. Death was due to paralysis, following a hemorrhage of the brain. Mr. Knickerbocker came to this city only a few weeks ago from Illinois, with his wife, to take treatment. He had suffered a previous stroke of paralysis some time ago. Although not very well known here, he was an honst, straightforward man and made friends with whomever he came in contact. > The remains were shipped this afternoon to Illinois, where burial will be made.
