We hold these acrvices in memory
of our deceased friend and fellow-oi.i-

nm apoplectic stroke, at his homo in
San Saba, Texas, at ~ o'clock, P. NJ,
on Sunday, Aug, the lOsh, 1884, in the
Both year of his age.
The deceased was, by profession, as
yon nil know, Journalist, the Editor
and Proprietor Of our county paper, /
The San Saba News. Ho was man
of extensive and varied information,
vigorous and racy writer and had the
ability to mako his paper attractive
and useful, superior, in fact, 10 any pa.
per in this part of the State.
His first settlement in life, | lelievo,
was in Manistee, Michigan, where he
was married to Miss jessie Sinclair,
his surviving widow, in 1876, and
where he continued to reside up to the
time of his removal to Texas and set
Element in San Saba, in the Spring of
1883
While living in Manistee, tho year.
following his marriage, in 1917, hcI
made public profession of religion
and Joined the Congregational Church,
with his young wife, under the Pas.
torate of the Rev. Mr. Gaylord, subse-
quently, he was under that of Rev.
DR.. Fairchild.
Now, it is the testimony of his wife,
that, up to the time of his coming toI
Texas, he endeavored to live the life
of consistent christian; that ho was
close student Of ths Bible, man of
prayer in his family, and never failed
to ask Gods blessing at his table. d
can say also, that to me, he often
spoke of his former relations to the
church--of his firm belief in tho truth
OF Christianity and his hoar.y sub
scription to the doctrines of grace as
