'Dick' Jessen, a young man 22 years of age, son of Fritz Jessen, died 
at his father's residence in Prescott Sunday morning, after a brief 
illness with typhoid pneumonia, and was buried this afternoon.

Deceased was quite a bright young man, big-hearted, good-natured, and 
was universally liked by all who knew him.

He was a member of the OK. hose company, and his funeral was attended 
by members of the fire department, as well as by a large number of 
citizens.  The O.K.'s hose cart was draped in black, with white 
streamers, and the casket, which was profusely decorated with flowers, 
was placed in the cart and drawn to the cemetery by members of the 
company.


Transcriber's note: Mr. Jessen is buried in an unmarked grave next to 
his mother and father at the Citizens Cemetery.
