Death Calls Prominent Resident

(From Friday's Daily)

William Gammill, one of the best known residents of this city, passed
away yesterday morning from the effects of a hemorrhage of the brain.
He was seized with this affliction last Friday morning, while going
to his place of business, and a short time thereafter lapsed into a
state of unconsciousness, from which he never rallied.

It will be remembered that Mr. Gammill was the victim of an auto
collision with the buggy he was driving, last June, sustaining at
that time serious injuries to his body and head, and it is believed
that through this accident death is due. He has complained ever
since the accident of intense pains, and has constantly been under
the care of a physician.

Mr. Gammill was a popular man with a large number of people in the
city. His generosity was shown in a material manner with many, and
his loss will be generally regretted by scores of acquaintances.

He arrived in this city with his wife and daughter in 1899, coming
from Nebraska, where he followed farming as a vocation. After
reaching this city he engaged in business, and up to the time of his
death followed his line of pursuit.

Besides his wife and daughter, who were with him to the end, he
leaves a mother, residing in Oklahoma, two brothers and two sisters
in Oklahoma, and other relatives.

His brother Andrew, is expected to arrive today, and pending the wish
of relatives as to the disposition of his remains, the date of burial
will be announced later. It is probable that the body will be taken
to Nebraska for interment.

The deceased was born in Sullivan, Ill., fifty years ago.

Transcriber's note: Mr. Gammill was buried at the Hickman Cemetery in
Lancaster County, Nebraska.
