Christopher C. Treash, proprietor of what was formerly the DeVary Grocery Store on East Beaufort Street, died of heart and kidney trouble at 8:26 Saturday morning. He had not been well for several days but his condition was not considered serious, and his death was entirely unexpected.
Mr. Treash was born near Mattoon, Ill., April 11, 1854. He was married twice, his first wife living only a year after the marriage. On November 7, 1873, he was married to Miss Florence Belle Carter.

The deceased was formerly a member of the United Brethren Church in New Goshen, Ind., but Mrs. Treash and he had recently put in their letters to the Normal Methodist Church.
For a number of years, Mr. Treash traveled over the counties in the eastern part of the state selling medicine. Before coming to Normal, he lived in Terre Haute, Ind. where he was in the grocery business. He was a man of sterling qualities and genial disposition. He was a friend to everybody and everybody was his friend.
