We copy the following notice Of Mn. john
from the Providence Journal Mr.. Vose Tor.
merly resided in this town, and commenced his
apprenticeship at the Printing business, in this
office.
We perform a melancholy duty in announc
ing the death oi joan W. NosE, who since 1889
has been partner it this office. Mr.. VoSe died
last Friday evening at Q O'Clock in the 3Ilf
year OF his. Ills health had been failing loi
more than a year, but he was confined To hl'
house only lew weeks and hopes were enter
taned of his recovery until very shortly be
fore his death.
Mr.. Vose was distinguished by sound practi
cal sense. by active enterprise and by great en-
ergy of character, which he directed successful
ly 10 the pursuits oi business. Hundreds o.
friends Will bear willing and grateful testimony
to the kindness of his heau, to his uno,tenta
tious benevoience, and to the generosity cf hi'
character Few persons could have been taker
from us who would have left more friends anC
fewer enemies; none whose memory would bC
cherished with more sincere affection by thoS,
who shared his familiar intercourse.
But we do moi propose TO make this the oc
casion Of heightened eulogy upon one who's,
intimate counexion with us would excuse IT.
and whose many qualities OF head and OF hear
would abuudantly justify it, We know how
many of our readers would respond TO all th'
praise that friendship and affection would sug
gest but to those who knew his amiable dis
position, his kind and generous nature, Sucf
praise is not needed and to those who knew hiu
not, the record would possess but little interest
Yet we should do injustice To our feelings if
while painfully mindful Of our loss, we failed
TO express our earnest sympathy with those who
have even greater occasion than we, To lament
his unimely death who mourn not for a
friend and an asSociae alone, bu, for a husband
a father, a brother.
