Clipping pasted into a Siegel Cooper Company Fall & Winter Catalogue 1906 by Cloe Collings Meyer thanks to Harriet Weatherford for sharing this:

A telegram announcing the death of Lee Presslor was received by father who lives south of town Friday. Lee had gone to work at Decatur, Ill last August. At that time he was about six miles from above place wher ehe applied at a farm residence to stay over night int he barn. In the morning he was found dead with a bottle of carbolic acid nearby which was the cause of his unteimely demise. His father, together with Clare Connelly and Wm. Hart went over and brought the remains home Saturday. After a short funeral service at the house Sunday, interment was made at Mt. Moriah Cemetery. Lee was the oldest son of Richard and Mart Presslor and was 26 years of age. His many friends at his home here lament this saddest of deaths and the relatives have much sympathy.
