DIES AFTER
LONG ILLNESS.
Well Known Alton Business Man
passes Away After a Week of
Complete Unconsciousness.
William Redmond, a well known Alton business man, proprietor of aharness shop for more than thirty years, died Thursday evening  at 7o’clock at his home, 356 Bluff street.
Mr. Redmond had been in ill health for several years. He had been inrapid decline for several months and confined to his home most of thattime.  Since last Sunday he had been unconscious and his death hadbeen looked for at any time.
He was 59 years of age last March 31. He was born in St. Louis, butwas brought to Alton when a small child by his parents, Mr. and Mrs.John Redmond and all the remainder of his life he spent here. Aboutthirty years ago, after he had completed his trade as harness makerunder his father, he set himself up in business in Alton and thebusiness continued until a few days ago when his family, knowing thatMr. Redmond’s death was very near, suspended it. The closing of thestore was the passing of the Redmond family from the harness makingbusiness in Alton.
Thirty-nine years ago Mr. Redmond was married in Alton. He is survivedby his wife, four daughters and two sons, Mrs. Fred Rust, Mrs. JohnSimon, Mrs. Arthur Degrand, Miss Iva Redmond, William and FredRedmond. His aged mother still lives in the North Side. He leaves alsotwo brothers, Fred and George Redmond, and five sisters, Mrs. J. G.Melling, Mrs.  Samuel Tingley, Mrs. Norman Challacombe, Mrs. ThomasMiller and Mrs. Will Miller.
Mr. Redmond was known for his kindly disposition and he had a verylarge number of friends. He was an expert harness maker and in theface of the passing of the horse with the increase in the number ofautomobiles, he continued to hold a good trade until ill health madeit impossible for him to work any longer. During ills long illness hiscondition has been watched with much interest by friends andrelatives.
