On Saturday evening occurred the death of James Kittrell, living near Buckigham. Some months ago Mr. Kittrell suffered a stroke of paralysis, from which he never fully recovered, and for the past several weeks had been suffering from heart trouble. Mr. Kittrell was a soldier in the Phillippine war, and after he was discharged he came to Buckingham where he had since resided. The deceased was forty-seven years old, and was an industrious, hard working man. His first sickness was primarily due to overwork. He was employed on the North-western railroad. He leaves a wife and four children. The funeral was held Sunday afternoon, in Buckingham church.
