Mr. Eli Deardoff died last week at the home of his father southwest of this place. He had been in failing health for some time and was just returning home from Kirksville, Mo., whither he had gone for treatment. When he got to his father's he concluded to remain there until his wife and children recovered from the measles. But his mother took down with the measles shortly after his arrival, and in course of time Eli took them, and being already reduced, they proved too much for him. His family have the sympathy of the entire community.
