OF It may be recorded that not one OF
the six brothers has ever been engaged
in a law suit before the courts OF our
country.

were chiefly spent with his brother
upon the farm. He Joined the Church
at Mt. Moriah In Sept'r, 1850. Among
others who Joined at the same time was
his nephew, the bright and genial com
paniOn of our childhood, who Ia dark

deepest sanctuaries OF our emotional
That N. ID. Braly had a number OF
friends was evidenced by a large con-
course OF people that attended his fn-
neral services. The high place which
be held In the estimation OF his friends
was manifested by the words Of COM

and young. The tenderest sympathy
was shown by the tear upon the check,
the wreath upon the coffin, and the
bouquet upon the grave. In the great,
aIl-golden Hereafter may never-wither-
ing wreaths crown the Immortal browa
OF those who here adOrn the colin lidsi
and In the grand Assembly before the
throne on high may the everlasting
flowers that deck the amaranthine bow
ers sweetly charm the spirits Of those
who here make their delicate and SYM
pathetic offerings 20 the memory OF the
sainted dead! DIS. T.
