DEATH OF ROSE LAWN RESIDENT

Jelte R. Mulder, who for many years conducted a general store at Rose Lawn, and the store still goes under the name of J.R. Mulder and Son, passed away at the age of 86 years, 10 months and 7 days.

Mr. Mulder came to this country when quite young and first settled near DeMotte, later moving to Rose Lawn, where he has since resided. He was a man who bore the respect and esteem of all who knew him.

Funeral services were held at the Rose Lawn M.E. church and were attended from far and wide by his old neighbors and friends. Rev. Charles Postil, of Rensselaer, conducted the funeral service. Interment was made in the Rose Lawn cemetery, with undertakers Sheets and Son in charge.
