Northboro: Dec. 17 - Ed Cowan died Friday morning after a week's dreadful suffering with typhoid-pneumonia. The entire family were ill with the disease and unable to get help, so Mr. and Mrs. Cowan were both compelled to be up when they were not able at all. Dr. Thompson deserves much praise for his skill in saving the wife and mother who laid near death's door. Mr. Cowan leaves his wife and five children to mourn their great loss, but we hope they may seek Comfort of Him who is able to give. The funeral services and burial took place Saturday morning at College Springs.
