Prominent in business and co-operative groups many years.
Rockwell, Feb. 1. - James E. Treston, 70, president of the Cerro Gordo County Farmers' Mutual Insurance Company, died here at 10:30 o'clock last night. He had been prominently identified with Rockwell business and farmers co-operative organizations for many years.

At the time of his death, Mr. Treston was president of the Farmers' Telephone Company of Rockwell. He was elected president of the Cerro Gordo Farmers Mutual Insurance Company in January and previously had held the position of treasurer.
Mr. Treston was also treasurer of the incorporated town of Rockwell. He had been prominent in co-operative associations and during his life had served as secretary for the Farmers' Society. Mr. Treston was a member of the Catholic church. The funeral will probably be Friday.
