Roberts, Ill., Mar. 7. -- Anthony Colteaux, one of Roberts' oldest and most honored citizens, passed away at the Frances Willard hospital in Chicago Monday night at about 11 o'clock, and the funeral services are to be held on Thursday afternoon.
Mr. Colteaux underwent an operation several months ago for appendicitis, but the tissues would not heal properly and two more operations had to be performed. He seemed to be doing nicely on Monday, but he was taken very suddenly worse that night and died shortly afterwards.
The deceased was a good man and was one of our best friends. He always had a kind word for all and his death has brought deepest sorrow to the community. All join with the Record in extending sympathy to the good wife and the sons who are left.
