- DiED.-N the residence uf his niece,
Mrs. Kitty Bragg, in this place, Sunday,
May End, 1850, Charles Kiriley, aged 6
years. This announcement will awaken
sorrow in MANY hearts. II will he sur
prise, too, because hisdeath was sudden and
unexpected. Last week Charles kiriley
was in the Courthouse every day, working
for his clients faithfully, NJ he had ever
worked. Saturday afternoon, he presided
AZ special judge in the absence Of Judge
Randall, receiving the report Of the
Grand Jury. When he leit the Court
house be went Immediately to his room
and to bed. A physician, DIR. W. p. Nc
Kee, was summoned, who went and admin
istered some medicines Mr.. Kirtley sank
rapidly and by ten o'clock was uncon-
scious. lie remained so up 10 his death
which occurred at half past two O'Clock
next day. Dr. Mckee says that his death
was the result OF simple giving way Of
the vital forces. The wheels Of life had
made their allotted number Of revolutions
The chord which bound soul and body to-
gether parted suddenly and his spirit took
its flight to another world. Charles Kirt-
ley was born in this county in the year
1919. lie has always lived here, and was
we'll known in Southeastern Kentucky. lie
was in many respects a most remarkable
man. OF humble parentage, and with lit
tie or no outside help, he lifted himself
into prominence by application and ener-
gy. Though dwarf physically he tower
ed intellectually above most Of the law
yers Of his district. file was an honest
lIwyer, and devoted himself to that pro-
fession from the time Of obtaining biz
license, which was shortly after he reached
his majority, until his death. He was,
also, minister Of the Gospel, and was a
jealous and fervent advocate OF his Mas
ter's cause. In 1861, while travelling in
Missouri, he preached in many Of the larg-
er towns, and was greeted with the largest
audiences ever seen in the STATE. lie was
never married. For years he had made
his home with his nieces, Mrs. Bragg and
Miss Annie Kirtley. They were devoted
to him and are almost heart-broken over
his death. lie was member OF the Chris
tian Church, prominent Mason and an
Odd Fellow. Ten years before his death
he caused TO lie entered on the records Of
the Masonic Lodge at this place a request
that he be buried with its honors. Accord
ingly at four o'clock Monday afternoon his
interment took place with the ceremonies
OF that order in the presence Of the largest
crowd ever seen at burial in this place.
A great and good man has gone from among
US. His brethren Of the bar will miss him,
as will his brethren in Christ. The little
boys and girls whose particular fayorite he
was will sadly miss him. Let usall imi-
tate his goodness and we shall meet him
and greet him in the glad beyond. May
the earthrest lightly on him, and may God
sustain his sorrowing relatives in their sad
affection.
