Death Of N. W. Grissar,.

Hopkinsville has again been depriv-
ed by death Of useful and highly
esteemed citizen. Mr.. NJ. W. Grissam
whose serious illness and subsequent
temporary convalescence were report
cd recently in the SoUTHKENTUcKIAN,
died at Dawson, KY, at 8 o'clock p.
NJ. Sept, 2Sth. just as his friends
had come TO regard him out Of dan
ger he suffered a relapse which quick
ly terminated his earthly existence,
His remains arrived on the afternoon
train Tuesday and remained at his
residence until 3 o'clock Wednesday
when they were taken to the Metho-
dist church and q funeral discourse
delivered by Rev. Il. w. Bottomley,
after which they were inferred in the
city cemetery.
Micajah w. Grissam was born in
Christian county on the 18th Of Au-
gust, 1887. His early life was spent
on his fathers farm. In 1866 he
removed TO Krkmansville, Todd

Quoted it. lie has been renting the
hotel for several years and has been
engaged in the grocery business. On
Dec. 81, 1870, he was married TO Miss
Mamie M. Lacy, of Todd county
who survives him. Four children
were born to them, three of whom
are living.
Mr. Grissam was a man with many
strongly marked traits of character.
lie was jovial and companionable
and no man excelled him in popular
ity. lie possessed great sagacity as a
business man and was successful in
whatever he undertook. As a citizen
he was enterprising and progressive,
as a man honest and reliable in all
things. He was man who will be
missed greatly in the community and
in many respects his place will be
hard to fill. lie had been troubled
with symptoms OF bad health for
some time and went to Dawson hop
ing to find relief. While there he
was stricken down with a serious af.
lection of the bowels from which he
recovered after being at deaths door
for several days, but pneumonia at
tackled him ten days later and baflied
the skill of his physicians from the
first. We deeply sympathize with
his bereaved family in their terrible
loss and in common with all who
knew him deplore the loss of all up
right and valuable citizen.

truly Instructive and amusing to all.
Their success has been phenomenal /;
