— The sad report was received here at noon today that Peter Frey of Goessel passed away in the Bethesda hospital at about 12 o'clock. Mr. Frey had been in the hospital since last week, receiving treatment for lock-jaw, caused by an infected wound. Mr. Frey had the misfortune to fall on a pirch-fork handle, and although the wound was almost healed the disease set in which finally brought about his death. The deceased was a member of the Tabor church, where funeral services will evidently be held. Nine children survive, among whom is Mrs. Dave Buller of newton.

— The funeral service for Peter Frey which was held at the Tabor church north of Newton last Sunday afternoon, was perhaps one of the largest ever held at that church. Such a large number of his friends and neighbors had come to attended the service that it became necessary to provide seating room in the church basement. Rev. P. H. Hiebert officiated, preaching a German and an English sermon. Other ministers who participated in the service were Rev. G. C. Wedel, Rev. C. Frey, Rev. Gerh. Friesen, Rev. P. H. Unruh and Rev. J. J. Voth. An unusual feature of the service was a song given by seven men who, together with Mr. Frey, had formerly comprised an octet which served the congregation with special music on several occasions. Mr. Frey passed away at the Bethesda hospital at Goessel last Wednesday as the result of blood-[poisoning from an injury he received sometime before.
