JOE RUSSELL DIES

Joe Russell, a familiar character in Waupaca, died this Thursday morning at the age of 71 years, death being caused by cancer. For two weeks before his death he was confined to his bed. He was well known to Waupaca people, as for years he had acted as teamster for the city, doing street work.

He leaves to mourn their loss two daughters, Mrs. Altia Brown of New London and Mrs. Lyle Russell of LaCrosse. He is said to have a sister living in the state of California. Funeral arrangements had not been completed this Thursday afternoon but the funeral will probably be on Saturday.
