SIDNEY WHITMER

[People’s Press, 23 February 1904]

The death occurred on Sunday morning of Mr. Sidney Whitmer, brother of Mrs. James Doan, of town. Deceased was a young man, unmarried and 32 years of age. His death was caused by ulceration of the stomach, from which he had been a sufferer for about two years and had at last gone to a hospital in Chicago, his recent home, from which Mrs. Doan brought his a week ago yesterday. He had never lived here and was a comparative stranger, but had, however, been M.C.R. operator at Black Rock for seven years. The funeral will be held from the house (to-day) Tuesday at 2 p.m., and friends are invited to attend. Burial in Doan’s Ridge cemetery.
