    For Many Years Employed As A Mason In Sycamore, And Well Known Here, Died On Sunday At Clinton, Iowa.

    Matt Belles, for many years employed as a mason in Sycamore and a well known citizen here a number of years ago, died on Sunday at Clinton, Iowa, where he had made his home for some years.

    He had lately been in poor health, and his mind had become affected, so it was necessary to care for him in a hospital for the insane. He was in his 80th year.

    Mr. Belles married Miss Renwick of Sycamore, who survives. Her sister Mrs. Jennie Gordon of Genoa was present at the funeral which was held at Clinton on Thursday.
