Paxton, Ill., Dec. 20 ---(Special.)---
S.L. Day of Chicago, died in that city this morning after a very short illness, having been sick less than a day. He brought the remains of his wife here for burial a short time ago, attended the funeral and returned to his home in Chicago.
He was a pioneer settler and the first circuit clerk of Ford county, coming here before the county was organized, with the original owners of the town site--Fells, Murdock and Britt. He lived here many years, his children all being born and reared here, but after they had located in Chicago, Mr. and Mrs. Day also removed to that city. Mr. Day was also postmaster of this city, from 1894 to 1897 inclusive, during Cleveland's second administration.
Two of his sons, Mark L. Day and Fred L. Day are successful traveling salesmen for a large Chicago fur house and sell probably $100,000 worth of goods each year. Another son, Clyde L. Day, is corporation counsel of the city of Chicago. Many friends here sympathize with the family and relatives of the deceased.
