DEATH A. E. TRIM
CASTS GLOOM ON
ENTIRE TOWN
A great shroud of sorrow
lays on our town and district j
over the sad death of Austin E.
Trm. One of the Northland’s
pioneers and an old and res pec !
ted citizen of this district Ids'
i
loss conies with the force of aj
terrible blow to all who knew!
him. A man of the outdoors, he!
had never known sickness or j
pain in his life and only three
weeks ago he began to complain !
of severe pains in the stomach
but thongnt nothing of it, but
as they persisted he called in
mouicai ai-beniuon anu was WKen |
to Kennecott Hospital. Upon op* J
crating it was found that an ab !
scess had formed in the stomach
and it was necessary to call Dr.
Council of Cordova; but before
it could be removed it broke and
spread poison through the sys
tern. The patient, backed by a
ruggeu constitution and the
best of medical and surgical
science, put up an heroic fight
for life, but it was unavailing.
For some days his case looked
hopeful but complications set in
and he sank slowly until last
Saturday and passed away at
4.30 Sunday morning.
The body was brought to
McCarthy Monday afternoon and
after a brie I but beautiful serv- i
ice in the A. B. Hall was interr
ed in the local cemetery. A host
of old time friends congregated
from near and far to pay their
last respects to a friend who
was always a friend.
The sympathy of the entire
community goes out to Mrs. Trim
ami the two children, Janus aged
8 and Graham aged 5.
A new Ford truck has arr
ived for J. B. O’Neill this week.

Assistant District Engineer of
