On Tuesday evening we were invited to go and take a look at the new bridge that is being built at the foot of Oak street, where the railroad crosses it. This bridge has been built by Mr. Wm. Paine at his own expense, which will not fall short of $400. The bridge was ordered put in by the council some two years ago, Mr. P. informs us, but for some reason it was not done and as he had guaranteed a crossing at that point to several parties to whom he had sold lots, he concluded to put it in himself. The bridge part of the crossing is 185 feet in length, and is built very strong, being made of Pine logs, framed together and covered with plank. The hill on the west side of the track will have to be graded down which will be a big job but Mr. Paine does not propose to stop at trifles and will have the street in fine shape in a few days.

William Paine was found dead in his bed on Saturday evening about 5 o'clock at the home of his son, Jacob Paine, of East [sic] [Southeast] Brainerd, where the old gentleman had made his home for some time.
It is not known the exact hour of the dissolution, but it is supposed that he died some time between 3 and 5 o'clock in the afternoon. He had not been feeling well for a day or two previous to Saturday and Saturday morning he was not down to breakfast. Nothing was thought of this for he often missed his meals, preferring rather to rest in his room. He failed to come down to dinner also and in the middle of the afternoon Mrs. Jacob Paine went up stairs and tried his door, but thinking that the old gentleman was asleep did not disturb him. About 3 o'clock sounds as of someone walking up stairs were heard and it is thought that this was the last time that the old gentleman got out of bed.
When Mr. Paine came home from the shops about 5 o'clock he went up to his father's room and was horrified to find that he was dead. A physician was summoned at once and it was found that heart trouble was the cause of death.
It was thought best, however, to call the coroner, but it was decided that death was natural and no inquest was thought necessary.
Mr. Paine moved to this place in 1871 and has been a resident here continuously since. He was for a time after his arrival here engaged in the contracting business and cleared the right of way from this city west as far as Frazee. After that he engaged in the real estate business in the city which he continued for years. He has been a notable character in Brainerd for years and he was as well known as any other old resident here.
Mr. Paine leaves behind a wife, three sons and two daughters. They are Jacob Paine, of this city, Fred Paine, of Minneapolis, and William Paine, of Gladstone, Mich., Mrs. Schontz of Correctionville, Ia., and Miss Lillie Paine, of this city.
The funeral services were held this afternoon from the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Paine in Southeast Brainerd and interment was made in Evergreen cemetery. Fred Paine came up from Minneapolis to attend the funeral, but the other children from out of the city were not able to come.
