The deceased was, in all respects, a good man.
The community has sustained a loss which will not
be filed and his family kind and indulgent hus-

friend; commanding the respect of all who knew
him; hOnored and upright in all his dealings; living
in the fear Of the Lord charitable and ready
TO help His servants and His cause, he has gone
from Never more shall hear his cheerful
voice. Truly sad is the bereavement visited upon
his family. He leaves a devoted wife and three
children, two of whom at that age when the
mature counsels Of father needed assist them
in forming their habits oflife. May the kind hand
Of Providence direct them, in their deep nfction.
They have the sympathy Of the entire community.
A FRIEND.
