Died, at Longwood, Clark County, Wis., Feb. 15th, 1882, Mr. Rolly Martindale, aged 20 years. He made his home with his sister, Mrs. Demouth, of Christie. He was a good boy moral in his habits. Though a great sufferer for the last two years, he was always cheerful and happy, and because of his buoyant and lively disposition, no on thought that he was so near death. Yet the dreaded disease was constantly advancing to a fatal termination. Rolly leaves a number of friends who deeply feel his loss. The funeral took place from the residence of his sister on Friday, Feb. 17th, attended by a large concourse of people.
