  • Notes 
    • Three Pioneers Gone.
      During last week Freeport was called to mourn the loss of thee of her pioneer settlers, viz.: Rev. Henry Thomas, Mr. John Montelius and Rev. Charles Best.
      [paragraph about Rev. H. Thomas]

      Mr. John Montelius was one of the early settlers of Freeport, and has taken an active part in the business interests of Freeport for the past thirty-three years. He was a man of stirling integrity, and was honored and beloved by a legion of acquaintances. About a year and a half ago he was taken with an abcess on the spine, from which he never recovered. He was 67 years of age at the time of his death.
