Notes:

Death of Uri A. Losey.
Uri A. Losey, who had lived so long in this section as to be very well known to most of our older residents, died suddenly at noon on Monday at the home of his son Edwin N, Losey in Arkport. Mr. Losey had for several years been affected with a heart difficulty and on his last visit to this office he said that when he came to go he would go suddenly and that it was all the better that a man should die that way rather than to suffer as he feared he might. He was convalescing from a long illness and was doing very well and had ridden over to this village to visi his friends the other day. The day he died he stepped out doors to get a breath of air and returning to the room he sat down upon a couch and fell over instantly and died without a struggle. He was the son of Joseph and Electa (Blake) Losey, was born November 28, 1843, and married July 3, 1862 to Miss Anna Warkley of this village who died in 1908. He had resided all his life on a farm on Sandy Hill and only left it about six years ago to go to Arkport. He was hospitably inclined and enjoyed entertaining his friends as long as he remained on his farm where he had a comfortable home and pleasant surroundings. He leaves two children, Edwin N. Losey and Eda Nora Taft, both living in Arkport. The funeral was held in Arkport yesterday morning and he was buried at the Sandy Hill cemetery at two o'clock.
