Last Friday evening Will Freehour passed to the great beyond at his father's home, about two miles southwest of town. Will was sick with typhoid fever and his physician and friends thought him out of danger of the dread disease, when a relapse occurred, which resulted in his death. He had just completed his course at medical college last spring and life's prospects were bright for him. But when least expected death often comes. He was a member of the class of 1880, Covington High School, being in his seventeenth year when he graduated, the youngest member of the class. At his death he was in his thirty-fifth year. The funeral services were held at the home, Rev. W. D. Samuel, of the Christian Church, officiating. Interment at Pleasant Hill. The I. O. O. F., of which organization he was a member, attended the services in a body.
