years.
He has gone in the morning Of lifeto the grave,
He has left numerous friends and relatives to mourn

He was most estimable young man--frank, gen.

quaintances and associates for his manly virtues.
An aged father is left mourn over his early death.
This is the third son who, within brief season,
he has followed to the tomb, cut down by disease
in the prime of manhood, leaving him in his old
age almost without supporting ann for his decli-
ming years. The heartfelt sympathies Of his many
friends afford but poor consolation in his over
