The funeral was held Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. at the Methodist church, the service conducted by Rev. McCulloch. Mr. Heslet passed away while at the post office in Evanston where he had been employed after a layoff from his railroad job. He went on duty Tuesday night, Dec. 21, at 10 o'clock. He was supposed to open the doors at 1 o'clock after which he was free to lie down until morning. On this evening the mail being late he sat down on his bed and death came suddenly. Not being able to get in the mail deliveryman was unable to deliver the mail until the following morning when a mail clerk arrived at 6:30 and Mr. Heslet was found on his bed. Beside his widow he is survived by three children, Bert, of Rossville; Mrs. Ed Ward and Mrs. Claude Yocum of Evanston, Wyo., four brothers, Jake, address unknown; James, Washington D.C.; Joseph and Charley of Rossville; five sisters, Mrs. McElvain, Mrs. Mina Wax, Mrs. B.

In Memoriam In sad and loving memory of our dear husband and father, John Heslet, who passed away 7 years ago, December 22, 1920. He bade no one a let farewell. He said good-bye to none. His loving heart had ceased to beat and before we knew it he was gone. His cheerful smile and kind ways we pleasantly recall. He had a kind word for everyone and died beloved by all; our hearts will filled with sorrow, to think he had to go. Sadly missed by Mrs. N.A. Heslet and children.
