GEO. FERBER DIES SUDDENLY
FOUND DEAD IN BED BY HIS BROTHER LAST TUESDAY MORNING

   George Ferber, a lofe long resident of town Auburn, was found dead in his bed last Tuesday morning, by his brother Edward, with whom he made his home.
   Mr. Ferber had been in poor health for several weeks, but was not feeling worse than usual when he retired Monday evening about eleven o'clock. When his brother went to call him at about 8 o'clock next morning he found life extinct. Heart failure was the cause of death.

For a number of years past he had been making his home with his brother Edward, on the former Gage farm, about 5 miles southeast of the village, who with another brother, William H., also of the town of Auburn, survive.
   The funeral will be held Friday morning from the residence, interment in the Auburn cemetery.
