The burial was in the cemetery in west Pine Valley. Mr. Haeftman had lived here some twenty years, and was a good citizen. His kidney ailment was a sudden attack, and followed the drinking of a little beer, which he was not accustomed to. He had always had good health up to this breakdown of the kidneys.
