Fred Brewer died yesterday afternoon at the home of his aunt, Mrs. T. Bonebright, of consumption, aged 21 years.

He has been ailing for about two years. He was a former Webster City boy but went to Omaha about four years ago where he stayed for some time. About six months ago he went to Colorado in hopes of improving his health, but to no purpose and he came back to Omaha, from which place he was brought home three weeks ago. He was a son of Roll Brewer but has not lived at home since he was twelve years of age. He is spoken very highly of by his youthful companions and his early death is a sad affair.

The funeral will be held from the Bonebright home this afternoon at 2:00 o'clock.
