CHARLEs @. CRAGTN,

OF st. Louis, died OF csnsumpt ion, ct the
residence OF his sister-in-law, Mrs. Adele
s. MoHet, In this city, Saturday morning,
Dec. Lot b, aged about 30 years.
Mr.. Cragin had for many years been q
commercial traveller, ana his health had
been failing for some time. Last fall in
his visit here this WaA noted by his
friends. We think he had . brief spell
Of sickness at his home in st. Louis some
months ago. He came here some tw o
months ago to visit with his wife at the
residence Of D. 8. Bill, brother-in-law.
Here he was taken with his last sickness.
About q mouth ago he was moved to Mrs.
AO4et's, and although he was afterwards
able TO walk out . short distance, 1t was
evident to ali he could not recover. He
chung to life tenaciously, as all do who
are afflicted with that disease, and fire.
QuentlY expressed the BELIEF he would
soon be at his work. In his last illness
he was surrounded by his wife, the
daught er the late Captain Sebastian,
whom he married here some six years
ago, and her sisters, and had every care
and attention that affection could devise
and bestow. His de ath was not expected
SO soon. At four O'Clock Saturday morn
ing he raised In his bed to take medicine.
He called to those In attendance to catch
him a. he thought he was falling, and
Immediately expired.
Mr.. Cragtn was native Of New York,
where he has relatives. BE was held in
the highest esteem for his excellent bust
ness qualifications and probity, in st
Louis, and for his good qualities Of heart
and head by all who knew him. He was
very successful as salesman. He was
deeply devoted to his family, consisting
Of wife and child, and for their comfort
and happiness was willing to make every
sacrifice. Mrs. Cragin and little johnnie
have indeed lost true husband and faith
or, and the whole family faithful friend
The funeral took place 1T the old home
stead On sabbath, brief religious exer-
cises being conducted by Rev. G.. W. Pye
OF the II. E. church. Notwithstanding
the tnclement weather it was largely at
tended. Mr. Cragln's family, and rsla-
tives have the heartfelt sympathy Of tn,
community.
