DEATH OF F. A. AMSDEN 

On Saturday evening at 11:10, Frederick A. Amsden was called to rest at the ripe old age of 76 years. The feebleness of his condition had long been apparent and he gradually grew weaker from day to day until nature reached out her loving arms and welcomed him home. 

Mr. Amsden and family immigrated to Groton from Elgin, Minn., in 1884, and have since then resided here continuously. A wife and two children are left behind to cherish the memory of a good husband and father. The funeral occurred from the M. E. Church Monday afternoon and the remains were buried in Union cemetery.
