He leaves the wife with several brothers and sisters to mourn his departure. Dr. DUWELIUS was reared in the German Lutheran faith and lived to his last day a chaste life. Funeral services were conducted by the writer at his late home in Briscoe Tuesday, after which his remains were laid in the cemetery near Auburn. May the Holy Spirit comfort the bereaved. -J.S.
