W. W. Wishard is Nearing Death

Our venerably and universally beloved townsman* William W. Wishard, is now lying at the point of death, at his home in the east part of town. His sickness, which began with a severe attack of the grip, several days ago, reached a very alarming stage Sunday afternoon. Everything which the combined skill of several physicians oould do has been done for his cure, but evidently without effect.. The doctors concede that there is no hope for his recovery. Later— At 7 o’clock this, Tuesday morning, he was reported a little better.
