He had been gradually sinking for
some time, and exactly two weeks before
his death, he had been taken from the
city of San Antonio out to his ranch.
The afternoon of his death, he took dim
ner at $50, and his death. when it did
come, was very sudden. The last sum
mons came two hours after the partaking
of his dinner, and while he was sitting
bolstered up in bed, with his family
around him. He Was conscious to the
last breath, and so quietly and peacefully
did he pass away, that it could scarcely
be realized for some time afterward, that
life was extinct.
The body was embalmed and placed in
a metallic cssket, and brought home IN
the parlor OF the "Aztec, the family per-
forming every service with it on the sad
journey home.
