Obituary:

Timothy P. Sumner died at his home a few miles southwest of town Monday, Jan. 16, 1899 aged 87 years. The principal cause of his death was old age and general debility, coupled with la grippe.
Mr. Sumner was an old and respected citizen of this vicinity and everybody who knew him was his friend.
Funeral services were conducted by Rev. A. H. Coffield from the Maple Grove schoolhouse and the remains were interred in the Star Cemetery.
The services at the grave were conducted by the G.A.R. Post of the city, of which he was a member.
