DR. JOHN DOE, an old-time resident and
practicing physician of this town, died at
Fort Worth, Texas, November 13th aged
about seventy years. DIR. Doe began the
practice of medicine In this town in Feb
ruary, 1874, and was the successor of DR.. ID.
G.. Hubbard, who died few weeks before.
He remained here until 1856, having large
practice, but, in view Of his feeble health
and the hard rides and cold incident to this
climate, he sold his practice to DR.. Dan
Newcomb and went to Iowa, where he re-
mained until four years ago, when he went
to Texas to seek a warmer and more con-
genial climate. DIR. Doe will be remem-
bered by the older citizens of this town as
man OF large heart and one that was always
ready to sympathize with the afflicted. He
was active in every good work. His wife
and an only son, e. M. Doe, who is an attor-
ney, survive him. - This community

about one o'clock Tuesday morning. His
funeral was attended from his late residence

incidence, his former wife having died fif-
| teen years before at the same hour, her fu-
neral being held Thanksgiving day. Mr.
Kimball was a good man, kind neighbor,
and will be missed by the whole commu-
nifty. - Our people are looking for
