MEMORIAL.

With painful heart, in memory of our friend,
we, by the use of the pen and the assisting grace
of God, shall endeavor to give short sketch of the
life of Mr.. Williams KoonE, who died at his resi-
denee three and half miles west of this city
on the 2sth day of December, a. d. 1873, after
long lingering, Of Brights disease Of the Kidneys.
Mr.. Koons we will all miss as a citizen, friend
and neighbor, whom all loved and esteemed,
He was possessed of cheerful spirit all through
his sore a1liction, and never complained Of his
afflicted situation. He was very obliging as a
neighbor, and his obliging disposition and manly
principles made him many friends.
He was an earnest seeker for his acceptance
with his God, more than four weeks before his
death, and often asked his dear, old mother to
pray for him; and she, mother in Christ, often
gave her son counsel in regard to his soul, and
present situation. We rejoice that her prayers
were answered. He-w converted on Christmas
day, and rejoieed by giving praise to God.
The last few days of his life were days of suffer
ing; yet he did not ask that this cup might be
moved from him, but saying: ''I will bear i
eheerfully for the sake of Christ. He will sustain
me now. My hope is in Him; my treasure is il
heaven. My only regretis is, that had only spen
twenty years of my life in the service of Christ
Christian" and passed away triumphantly il
his faith in his Savior. YOnder, in the light o
! heaven-see!. he stands with those arrayed il
! white that stand before the throne, singing ant
waving their palms! They who were once sinful
lost, ruined, wasted in life, frozen in heart; bu
now
''Upon the sea OF glass they stand
In shining robes of light;
! The harps Of God are in ther hands,
| They pGaise him day and night.
They climbed the steep ascent of heaven
Through 669 3 peril toll a4sOd and pa Pain; ,ijon
To follow in their train"
Fayette County herald. [volume] (Washington [Washington Court House], Fayette County, O. [Ohio]) 1860-1???, 1879-02-06

Chillieothe Adverttser: John T. Norris
has submitted two propositions in writing
to the Commissioners relative to the con-
viction of the accomplice of Bowsher in
the MeVey robbery. The first is: that for
the sum of 1000 he will secure the con-
viction of the accessory of Bowsher, no
part of the sum to be paid until that end
is accomplished; Norris to pay all his
own expenses, and all the cost of seeur-
ing testimony. If the prisoner should die
or escape after the acceptance of the prop
ositiOn, the evidence to be heard by a
jury of three disinterested persons, and ii
the conviction could have been assured,
the reward to be paid.
The second is substantially the same,
with this exception: that Norris is to Sc
cure the conviction for reward of s., 900,
and will deposit with the Commissioners
81, 900 In U. S. bonds, as a guarantee oi
good faith. If he fails he will forfeit the
81, 900.
