OBITUARIES.
Death has made fearful inroads among
our people since our last report, up to
noon last Saturday, the 9th inst. The
rich and poor, the high and the lowly,
have gone the way Of all the earth.
Among others we have 10 mention Mr..
j. j. Suter, German by birth, yet an
old citizen among US, one who possessed
rare graces Of heart and head, and
whose hand was never weary in we'll do
ing. He passed away without much
warning for it is only few days since
we saw him upon the streets as we'll APP
apparently as usual. But he was
stricken down with yellow fever two
or three days ago, and died last evening
at nine and half o'clock at his resi-
dence on 0verton street. The deceased
was fifty-four years of age, but appeared
ten years younger, and was full Of life
and activity. He was a true citizen-a
good man in every sense, aud withal a
cultivated, affable and popular gentle
man, esteemed and respected by all. As
a member OF the Masonic fraternity, he
was ever faithful to his obligations, and
truly an upright man. His death will
he regretted and keenly felt by a
large circle Of warm friends.
Mr.. James Kennedy, another highly
respected citizen, and President Of the
Iron Moulders' Union No. &C, died at
ten o'clock last night of yellow fever at
his residence at l66 Front street. He
was aged 80.
John Dutlinger another prominent
citizen, and leading man among the
Germans, died yesterday of yellow
fever at 1877 Main street, in the 5Oth
year of bis age. He came to Memphis
many years ago, and by economy, in
dustry and fair dealing acquired quite
handsome property. He was a liberal
hearted, genial man, of the pure
German type, and perhaps had
not an enemy in the world
Among all classes, native born as we'll
as foreign citizens, he was recognized as
a representative man, and was univer-
sally popular and respected. Appropri-
ate honors will be paid to his memory
by his many friends.
Mr.. John F. Titus, promising young
merchant, son of the late Colonel Fra
ser Titus, died after brief illness of
yellow fever, at the residence of R. W.
Edmondson, twelve miles south of Mem
phis, Saturday night, the 9th. The
disease was contracted in the city, and
he only left here for the country few
days ago when first attacked. The
funeral takes place at four o'clock this
afternoon. The deceased was a quiet,
industrious young man, who inherited
many of the sterling traits of character
which marked his father. In business
he was attentive to details, far-seeing,
prompt and bid fair to succeed. His
were close and warm, and in
the family circle he was a cherished
member. But death, stern and relent-
less, cut him off in his early prime, and
it may truly be said, the mourners 90
about the streets. In the midst of life
we are in death.
