Husband of Harriet L. (Brooks) DaySuddenly, in Olena, Illinois. Dec. 30th, Mr. George R. Day, of Norwich, aged 43 years.
At the hour of our going to press on Wednesday afternoon of last week, we had barely time to announce the death of George R. Day, a well known and highly respected citizen of this place, which occurred at an early hour that morning, at Olena, Ill. whither he had gone a week previous.
His remains reached this village, via the D.L. & W. Railroad on Saturday morning last, accompanied by Mr. William Thompson, of Guilford [Chenango Co., NY] who had been his traveling companion throughout his journey. A large number of citizens, including members of the Fire Department, with which he was connected, assembled at the depot upon the arrival of the train, and escorted the remains to his late residence, where his stricken family and relatives awaited them.
On Sabbath morning there was an unusually large attendance at the funeral, member of the Steamer company and others of the Fire Department appearing with appropriate badges and taking part in the solemnities of the occasion. [Obituary provided by Find A Grave Member #47185176]
