Uncle Mahlon Rubottom passed peacefully away Sunday morning July 29. He was 80 years old and had been very feeble for several years. About eight weeks ago he became insane and never regained consciousness. Of course, he became a great charge for his wife, but kind friends came to her relief and assisted in taking care of him, for which she feels truly grateful. Uncle Mahlon had lived in this community a number of years and was favorably known and highly respected as a more upright, honest Christian man would be difficult to find. Funeral services were held Tuesday at 2:30 p.m. from the Baptist Church. Rev. T. A. Williams of Rarpen, Illinois officiating, after which we retired to the beautiful Silver Island Cemetery where the remains were deposited to await the glad morning when we are told that the angel shall stand with one foot on land and one on sea and proclaim that time shall be no more.
