In MemorIam.

Died In Bloomington Oct. Goth. ugh Garside,
sr, Deacon of the Congregational Church, aged IS
years and months
Mr. Garsde was native of England, beng
born in Cheshire, July 2Sth, 1898, where hav-
ing passed the earlier years Of his life, he with
his family emigrated to America, and landed
in New York in 1880. In that State he re-
manned one year, when he removed to Ohio,
and from thence to Wisconsin in 1915, and
was one of the first settlers of Patch Grove.
Jealous to aid in the Masters work in this
new country, he encouraged the organization
of church, and in lS47, at his own house,
seventeen persons entered into covenant
relation as the Blake's Prairie Congregational
Church Few men so completely won the re-
spect of all who knew him; of his townsmen,
by those qualities which constitute the good
citizen; of his neighbors, rs their kind-hearted
friend; of the church as a devoted christian,
whose consistent life eminently fitted him for
the Office of deacon, which he held at the
time of his death.
Possessing definite knowledge of two
countries he was able to impart much valuable
information, and always seemed happy to thus
afford pleasure and profit to others, who never
grew weary of listening 20 his conversation.
Though never physically strong, still the
"frail tenement of clay" yielded slowly to the
inroads of disease, and not until after months
of confinement, to his home, did he lay every
burden down, and peacefully falling asleep in
Jesus conferred into that rest which remaineth
for the people of God
'Jifes labor dope-as sinks the clay,
Light from its load the spirit flies,
while heaven aud earth combine to say,
How blest the righteous when lac dies.
