ORITuARY-

Departed this life Oct It'll, 1858. at the res
idence Of his Grandfather, DR.. James iienton,
LSLean Cotinty. illinois, ALPHoNzo HEAGLER,
son Of James and Samantha Heagler.
The deceased was born at Washington, Fay.
cite County, Ohio, September 25th, 1851; and,
consequently, at the time Of his death was 3
little past II. lie was not raised rellgiously-
his parents not being professors-but preemi-
nently moral and exemplary in th0if conduct,
and thoughtful on the subject Of religion. lie
was usually quite healthy; but sometime be-
fore his death wheat beard lodged in his
throat, which he thought he had remoyedj ! but
a portion, herhaps, remained, which produced
death, despite the combination Of skill and
affection, under the medical treatment Of u
Grandfather and two Uncles.
The writer performed the funeral services;
and from acquaintance with the youth, from
having him under his charge at school for 4
length oftime, can eheenully and unreserycd-
ly bear testimony TO the following facts:
ALPHoNZ0, even while small boy, was dis
tinguished by mildness, mcekncss, patience
and submissiveness and this character was
attractiyely uniform. Amid the usual sur
rounding indictments to wrong, he seemed,
with manly reflection, to remain the same;
and even in cases where it became necessary
to Censure him for real or supposed errors
there ever appeared upon the cOuntenance,
and especially in the eye, an expression of
mingled sorrow, patience and innocence,
which seemed to say with silent, but expires
siVe emphasis. II must patiently bear this
until all factS can be known, when all Will be
right" In fact, meekness was his distin-
gushing Characteristic.
But we eulOgize not the dead: Nor can this
tribute to the memory Of tho departed heal
the wound made by the first stroke Of death
in the family. But preserved for future ref
erence, may minister great comparative com
fort to the grief-smitten parents.
The flower that early ripens here,
Is gently plucked by angel hands
Transferred from habitation drear,
To brighter bloom in better lands
