The cold hand Of death has agail

Leroy Hope. Leroy Hope was tn
son Of Adam and M. g. Hope. He wa
born July 18th, 1865. and died June 7th
1885, at IL O'Clock, p. IN, (Sunday night.
He was rs years, 10 mouths and "a day
lold.
Bro. Hope was united in marriage t.
Miss Lydia Banta, April 9th, 1884 Thi,
union proved TO be happy one, but Goo
has permitted them to live together onl,
IA months, when she must follow him L

Bro. Hope never connected himsel
with any church, but his life from ths
|cradle TO the grave has been one beyond
Question, model for many church mem
Ibers; Q true moral life, and one that ha,
made all those who became acquainted
with him warm friends. He was goo<
|citizen, an afectionste and devoted hus
band, and an obedient and loving child
He has been for over years teacher
of Dubois county, and has always stood
at the front rank among the teachers OI
this county; q leader in the educationa
affairs Of the county. and he leaves be.
hind him an influence that will live fol
many years. His education was acquir-
ed In the public schools, having never at.
tended any but them and great amour
OF his learning was got by hard study al
home. He always held good teachers
license and bis opinion was always re-
ceivcd with Difference by his fellow

BY his death q wife has lost a good
husband, parents their only and a good
son, Eve sisters their only brother, the
state one of it's best citizens, society one
of its beet members and all his acquain-
tences kind friend.
Brother Leroy is no more among US,
Gods finger touched him and he sleeps.
Though he Is taken from our sight, yet
he lives In our memories. We trust that
our loss has been his gain.
He professed religion about four
years ago during q protracted meeting
At Ireland, Indiana, and died perfectly
happy, believing that he IL saved, and
we have no reason to doubt, that, though
his body is in the ground, his spirit Is
with God, who gave It.
His funeral was preached by Rev. N.
