Many of our citizens were surprised Monday morning when the news came announcing the death of William Peterson, son of Sol W. and Jane Peterson of the prairie north of town. Will, when we knew him, a strong hearty, industrious boy, but for the past few years his health had failed and he seemed on the decline, yet his ambition kept him up and he continued to go around. Saturday he attended the horse show at Linden, spending rather a restless night with the family of his brother, John, who took him to the home of his parents Sunday where he continued to speedily grow weaker and early on Monday morning his spirit took its flight and poor Will’s suffering was over. He was some 25 years of age; cut down in the prime of life, taken from friends and associates, those that loved and enjoyed his associations. Why, we know not, and can only say “thy will be done.” -s
