George W. Craig, who has been ill since January last and failing continually since, died on Sunday last, aged 73 years. Mr. Craig has been a resident of this village (Thorp, Clark Co., Wis.) some fifteen years, removing here from Portage County. He was a faithful soldier in the Civil War and a member of Co. E 18th Regt., Wis. Inf., and was held in high esteem by his comrades, many of whom turned out to attend his funeral, which was held from the M. E. church on Tuesday afternoon, Rev. J. B. Bachman officiating. He leaves a wife and ten children, all grown, to mourn his death.
