Richard Gordon Is Called by Death

(From Friday's Daily)

Richard Gordon, one of the best known residents of this city, and
popularly known to all, passed away Wednesday night about 12 o'clock
at Mercy hospital, from pneumonia.

His death will be deeply regretted, for during the 20 years he had
been a resident of this section, his genial personality and good
fellowship had made him many staunch friends.

Preceding his fatal affliction, he had been in poor health for over
a year, and recently visited California in the hope of a change of
climate providing beneficial. In this he failed to secure relief,
and a few weeks ago was taken to the hospital, where an operation
was performed. He then contracted the affliction that proved fatal.

Mr. Gordon was a native of Illinois, aged 42 years, and was
unmarried. He was a member of the local lodges of the Loyal Order of
Moose, Improved Order of Red Men and Degree of Pocahontas and the
funeral will be held this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock under the
auspices of these orders.

Interment will be in the Citizens cemetery.
