nay III ttay Tor one funefnai and
another death. While the funeral
procession bearing the remains Of
John +, Beatty was moving from the
Ringo House to the Christian Church.
the telling Of the court house bell
announced the death of ex-Shesif
Harrison Giascock.
Into each life some rain must fall.
some daEs must be dark and dreary -
1here are some men who could die
md. as it were, leave no void in a
community; some other person
could step forward over their dead
body and take their place, filling up
the ranks in such n way that the dead
man would not be missed except in
bis WI family. Such is not the case
with Harrison Glascock. He was a
man whose place in the community
can be filled by no one The tolling
OF the court house bell at 10 minutes
past l O'Clock, p. m, last Tuesday,
sent a pang to the heart of every one
who heard it. Perhaps, there never
was q death in Audrain county which
caused SO much sincere grief and
universal regret as that of eX-.Sheriff
Glascock. He had a vide circle of
friends, and a State wide reputation
as an officer. To,know him was to
love him. He was whole-souled and
generous to afault, and had as wide
and true d~circle of friends as II
man IN the State. AS a sheriff, he
had no peer. He never went after
his man without getting him. Dur
ing the our years that he wa Sheriff
OF Audlain county, he made over 400
arrests, and took As prisoners to the
penitentiary. He always did his
duty, whether it was pleasant or not.
lie had been sick three months, dur
ing which time he was surrounded by
his family, friends and skilled physi-
clans. Everything was done that could
be, but his case bafied the utmost
efforts Of his doctors. His brother
ln-law, DIR. McFarlane OF Rails county,
was with him, in connection with Drs.
Russell, and Rothweli, during his en-
tire illness. During his sickness. he
was very patient and resigned. He
knew that he was going to die, and
talked reasonably about business and
spiritual matters. He knew his wife
and family up to the hour of his
death, AMI when leaving them told
them he wanted to meet them lover
the rlver.' He was a strict member
of the Presbyterian Church, and died
in the faith. He was one of the first
persons that joined the Presbyterian
Church of this city, under the pastor
ship of the Rev. DIR. Lacy. In com.
pany with his near friends, Judge
>. NJ. Edwards, James Carroll. John
j. Steele and others, We we're with
him just before be departed this life.
and we never saw a man more re.
signed to his fate. No man could
stand at such q deatil-bed and sa,
there is no better land: there is nc
Heaven; that man does not die il
hope.
At a post mortem examination held
on the evening of his death, 1t wa:
found that his liver was greatly en-
larged and softened. If he coult
have lived a few weeks longer, thit
} organ would have become decompos
ed. Typhoid fever vas what he wa:
taken sick with, but when free of Thu
fever it was found that he was still
; fatally sick. The enlargement an,
softening Of his liver is, withou
doubt, what killed him.
