Brother of Wm. Washburn Dies In Kansas.

William Washburn received a dispatch from Stockton, Kan., about 8 p. m., Wednesday informing him of the death of his brother, David Washburn, and stating that the funeral would be held Thursday at 2:30 p. m. Mr. Washburn could not then get a train until next morning and therefore could not reach Stockton in time for the funeral, so did not make the start. David was Mr. Washburn’s only brother remaining out of a family of four boys and two girls. One sister and Mr. Washburn are the only ones now left. David’s age was 71 years. He suffered a stroke of paralysis about a year ago and it is supposed . a second stroke proved fatal, no particulars being given in the telegram. He had resided in Kansas for thirty-five years. A wife and one married daughter survive him.
