He continued iif the employ of the Monon for several years and later went to Chicago. At the time of his death he was an engineer on the Chicago belt line railroad. He was about 55 years of age. He is survived by his wife and one son, Chase Imes, who is a brakeman on the Lafayette-Michigan City division of the Monon railroad. In the seventies deceased was employed here for about a year as a clerk in the drug store owned by his brother, Willis J. Imes, and he will doubtless be remembered by a number of our people, although he has not visited here in recent years. His funeral was held in Monon Monday at 2 o’clock, £nd was attended by his brother and Burgess Dillon, of this city. Royal Flour, the best. Home Grocery
