On Friday last, Mr. Willard Anderson, living in Hancock township, and hired hand drove to a neighbors to procure some additional paint he was then needing, returning about 10:00 p. m. Arriving at home, Mr. Anderson told the hired hand to put up the team while he would go down in the orchard and drive up some loose horses. After putting up the team and waiting for some time, the hand went to the house and apprised the family of Mr. Anderson's long absence. Suspicion arose that all was not right, and a search was immediately instituted. He was found in the orchard a few steps from the fence where he got over, lying on his face in an unconscious condition. He was removed to the house, and Drs. Barr and Ferris, of Fountain Green, were summoned and rendered all medical aid possible, while a devoted wife, a mother, sister, friends and neighbors stood by the bedside and gave their constant care until the spirit was called to the home over there. He remained as when found, in an unconscious condition, never arousing, passing to the great beyond at 4 p. m., the following day.
It is supposed he was kicked by one of the horses as there was a bruise just under and a little back of the left eye, and one under the heart.
Deceased was born on the farm on which he died, Sept. 27th, 1858; was married in 1884 to Miss Mary Folder [sic], of McDonough county; was an honest, industrious and respected citizen, widely known in Hancock and McDonough counties.
He leaves the wife and one little boy about four years old, a mother, sister and two brothers to mourn his loss.
Funeral and interment took place at Majorville, Sunday at 3 p. m., Judge C. J. Scofield preaching a touching and feeling discourse to one of the largest audiences ever assembled there on a like occasion. The entire community extend their heart felt [sic] sympathy to the grief stricken [sic] wife and family. J.
