found him thc same cordial, warm
hearted irieNd tAat he had ever
been. How the mention of has

me back To our bOyhOOd and school

past! To say that l was shocked
when 1 sew in the columns of the
CITIZEN the ANNOUNCEMENT OF his

poorly express what / felt. And
yet how my sorrow dwindles tO in
significance beside the heart-an-
guish of his wife and childrenl May
God pity and help them.
