OLD RESIDENT DIES
M.S. Kirk, 315 South Third street, a resident of Niles for 19 years, died this afternoon at 1:30 o'clock in Pawating hospital. He was 70 years old. Death was indirectly due to a fall down stairs early Thursday morning. The fall resulted in a broken rib and punctured lung, and pneumonia developed. He leaves his widow, Carrie, and one son, Condon, a postoffice employe, who lives at home. Several years ago Mr. Kirk operated a gas station on US-31, but failing health in recent years compelled him to retire. The body was taken to the Price & Kiger funeral home.
Funeral services will be held Saturday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock at the Price & Kiger Funeral home, with the Rev. G.W. Simon of the Presbyterian church officiating.
