ROCKLAND.
Friends and neighbors were shocked at the sudden death of James Lincoln Lusher which occurred Friday morning as he was being admitted to the Franklin Hospital.
Mr. Lusher had suffered a severe attack of flu several weeks ago but had recovered, and was apparently in good health. On Dec. 16 his wife was stricken with influenza, and was taken to the Franklin Hospital, and their two daughters, Mrs. Laura Lusher, and Mrs. Alta Krausore, both registered nurses, were called from Chicago, and they with their father visited her daily in the hospital. On Thursday morning, Jan. 2, Mr. Lusher collapsed at the breakfast table and from then on grew steadily worse. He was taken in an ambulance to the Franklin Hospital Friday morning but died as he was being admitted. His daughter, Mrs. Krausore was also stricken with an attack of flu, and she and her mother are both patients in Franklin Hospital.
Mr. Lusher was born and raised in Rockland and spent his early life here. In 1906 he went to Oblong, Ill., where he was employed in the oil fields. On Nov. 5 this year he was retired from the company, and with his wife returned to Rockland to make their home, having moved to the property formerly owned by J. A. O'Neil. Just two months from the day they arrived in Rockland, Mr. Lusher was buried.
He was 75 years and is survived by his wife, Mrs. Belle French Lusher, and two daughters, Miss Laura Lusher, and Mrs. Alta Krausore, of Chicago, Ill., and one brother, J. C. Lusher, of Rockland.

J. Lincoln Lusher.
Many friends attended services in the Buchanan Funeral Home Sunday afternoon to pay tribute to the memory of the late James Lincoln Lusher, of Rockland Township, whose death occurred last Friday in the Franklin Hospital.
The Rev. Frank A. Towers, of the Fox Street Church of God, officiated and burial was made in the Rockland Cemetery. There were many lovely floral tributes.
The Rev. Towers read the hymns, "Abide With Me," and "Sometime We'll Understand."
The pall-bearers were: Charles Ross, Ernest Smith, Kenneth F. Lusher, Milton, Ernest and Arthur French.
Mr. Lusher, better known to his many friends as "Link" died at 12:50 p. m. Friday, as he was being admitted to the Franklin Hospital. He had been ill since Dec. 31.
Mr. Lusher was born June 4, 1865, in Rockland Township and spent his early life in that Township. He was an oil lease pumper and during the past 45 years lived and worked in the oil fields of Indiana and Illinois. He returned from Oblong, Ill., to Rockland Township to make his home last Nov. 1. He married Miss Belle French Dec 17, 1895. Mrs. Lusher has been a patient in the hospital for several weeks and Mr. Lusher had been making regular visits to the hospital. He developed a cold, which turned into pneumonia. A daughter, Alta, was also admitted to the hospital Friday, apparently suffering from grippe.
Surviving Mr. Lusher besides his wife and daughter, Alta, is another daughter, Laura, at home, also a brother, John C. C. Lusher, of Davis' Corners, Rockland Township.
Mr. Lusher had many friends for he was a generous, kind-hearted man, tolerant of others' faults, which won the deep admiration of those whom he contacted.
