Died of Old Age

Wm. RUSSELL, of the Thirteenth district, died last Friday night of old age and general debility.  Mr. RUSSELL  was a man who stood well in the community in which he lived and died, and his death was greatly regretted by a large circle of friends.  He was 87 years old, an age attained by but few in this age of disease and affliction.  He was a useful citizen and a clever man.  The burial occurred at the Johnson graveyard Saturday.
