      The funeral services of George Sprague, who died suddenly at Albion on Friday, occureed at the family residence yesterday afternoon. Rev. Dr. A.P. Osborn, of the Baptist church, had charge of the service. Mrs. Sprague was 62 years of age, and surviving him are his wife, one son and one daughter. On the morning of Mr. Sprague's death, he had offered to assist a young man out of some trouble which threatened expense, Mr. Sprague having law, and did so in a court of justice. He being anxious to put in his vote at caucus that day, went directly from that business to the crowded hall where he soon became very faint, and was immediately carried out and into a carriage, where he breathed but once or twice. He had not put in his vote. Dr. Breuman, the coroner, decided that his death had been caused by apoplexy from over excitement. Mr. Sprague had engaged in milling for some years
