Monday, Dec 7, 1903
Irving (Ervan) L. Denning, a well known brick mason of this city, died in
Chicago at the Presbyterian hospital at two o'clock this morning, death being
due to an abscess of the liver.
Mr. Denning was taken to Chicago some time ago where he underwent an
operation for his trouble, and had been gradually improving. Sunday his wife
visited him and he appeared to be excellent sprits, chatting and laughing with
her. She left there last night,
returning to the city and was notified of his death this
morning.
Mr. Denning was quite well known in this city and was an expert at his
trade. For several years he was an
instructor in bricklaying at the Reformatory. He leaves a wife and three
children. No definite arrangements
have been made regarding the funeral but the remains will be brought to this
city this evening.
