DEATH CLAIMS IT VICTIM
Marcus H. Giddings Passes Away Sunday in St. Francis Hospital
Marcus Giddings is dead; the lively, genial, active, obliging Marcus, whom everybody has known and liked since he started in as a clerk at the Magnet some ten or twelve years ago. It was generally know that he was ill with fever, but people generally supposed that on account of his youth and vigor the chances were all in his favor. It appears, however, that he kept at his work for several days when he was almost too sick to walk. Holding a responsible place in the Crescent confectionary, with the holidays just coming on, he felt that he must not give up. When he did take to his bed, his condition was serious. He was moved to St Francis Hospital in Breckenridge, where he died at 9 o’clock last Sunday morning, after about ten days of great suffering.
Marcus Henry Giddings was born in Warren County, Ill, August 23, 1868, the son of E. W. and Mary G. Giddings, now residents of Campbell, Minn. Feb. 22, 1899, he married Miss Ma Dee Farnsworth, of this city, who survives him. He was a member of the U. C. T. and the Knights of Pythius, under the auspices of which latter fraternity his funeral ceremonies were conducted Tuesday morning. The services were held in Masonic Temple, where the usual funeral rites of the order were observed. An address was delivered by Charles E. Wolfe. The closing prayer was pronounced by Rev. G. H. Davies. Music was furnished by the choir of the Congregational church. The remains were laid to rest in Fairview cemetery. He leaves a young wife, a father and mother, and several brothers and sisters to mourn his loss, besides a host of friends.
