Death of S.E.Aven-At 5 o'clock Tuesday evening, Feb.3,1903, the spirit of S.E.Aven (familiarly known as Selly) took its flight to the great unknown beyond. In the vigor of young manhood-just past his 26th year-full of life and hope, he was stricken with malarial hematuria about ten days before his death, and notwithstanding the unremitting attention of physicians and friends, he passed away, leaving many friends to regret his untimely death. S.E.Aven was the only son of J.W.Aven, and had been engaged in the cattle business, which required his presence in the bottoms, where he contracted the fatal illness. Selly was a boy well liked by all, a staunch friend, charitable to his fellow man, and a genial companion, and others besides his family will mourn his death. The burial took place at Hughes graveyard on Wednesday afternoon, Rev.W.H.Dyer, of the Methodist church officiating. The bereaved relatives have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community.
