CHRONICLE, many incorrect statements having
been published. Mr.. NJ, 90 the morning Of
his death, had been attending TO bis stock as
usual. About $50 O'Clock he came to the
house and stated to Mrs. Gregory that he was
persplrlng most protusely, and that he had
severe pain and misery in his breast, also re
questlng her TO make some ginger tea for
MIN. de then passed on into the sitting
room and seated himself upon the rug with
his back partially turned to the fire, at the
same time leaning his head upon his hand
But few moments elapsed until Mrs Greg
| ory had the tea ready and carried it in to him.
| de drank 1t, and she returned to her domestic
duties in the kitchen. After the lapse of
short time, she requested her little boy Pearly
to go into the room and see if Mr.. Mccullough
wanted anything, aEd he asked for drink of
water. Pearly carried in 10 him and returned
to his mother in the kitchen. Mrs. Gregory
had occasion to speak to Mr.. Mccullough,
| but receiving no answer, entered the room
| aud found him prostrate upon the floor dead.
She gave the alarm, and her husband, who
was at work upon the farm, and Mr.. Vincent

respect of all who knew him and the co NJ
nunity has lost good citizen and one whose
death will fill many hearts with sadness and
regret.

assemblage had gathered TO pay their last
tribute of respect to the dead. fhe coffiI was
placed before the altar and on it were placed
the floral tributes of mis- people who had fol-
lowed so far to see the body of their beloved
pastor laid away in the quiet grave to await
the resurrection. On the floral pillow was

Zulsuf and James Mix. The music WAS
beautiful and the rendering sweet and perfect.
Perhaps nine ministers were present, quite
number making brief remarks and with
scripture readings. When the casket was
laid in the grave the choir sang soft and sweet
selection beginning, Thou art gone but not
forever and as they sang they and those who
had followed their dear pastor for so many
weary miles, together with his relatives and
many friends of his community, gathered
close to the grave as though longing still to
follow, but here they were forced to part,
while he passed on
From the night side of the grave
Unto the side of the morning,
Where the glory Celestial shines on the portal, |
Blessed be God! for man is immortal
Christ died, was laid in the grave, and now
HE Is RISEN.
Aleuia! Forever H.
