John Ditto Dies at Maryville
John
[W.] Ditto, formerly of this
county, died Saturday at Maryville, Missouri, of apoplexy. The burial will be
here but on account of the drifted condition of the roads it was postponed
until today.
Mr.
Ditto spent many years in Taylor
County and is well known throughout the county. Leaving the county he moved to
Maryville where he made his home until his death, which came suddenly Saturday.
The
roads to the cemetery will be cleared so that the body may be taken to the
cemetery here for burial today. The funeral will be held at Maryville at 1:30
this afternoon and when the body arrives here it is planned to use bobsleds to
go to the cemetery, as cars will not be able to get through.
