circle of friends both in business way and
in his social relations in life until October,
1885, when the co-partnership of Joyslin Il
Merriam expired by its own limitation, and
he became the successor of Mr.. Merriam in
the business under the new firm of j. G..
Joyslin ~ Co., he becoming an active man.
ager in the carrying on of their increasing
and prosperous business, adding largely to
1t by his own personal magnetism and fidel-
ity to all whom he met and became asso-
ciated with in the relations of life. From
overwork and confinement in the counting
room his health began to fail early in jan
uary last, but not willing to leave his bust
ness, he continued in the same until March,
when he could do so no longer, and then
took his bed at the house of his brother-in-
law and partner, j. g. Joyslin, where he re-
ceived every care and attention that could
be bestowed by a loving sister and affec-
Tomato friends, his father, another sister
and her husband, John w. Gregory, coming
to him from Vermont, remaining with him
until it was thought best by friends and
physicians in charge to move him to his
home in Vermont, in the hope that change
of climate might help him. Such, however,
was not the case He lived but two short
weeks after his arrival home, but often dur
ing that time expressed his great pleasure
and satisfaction in being at the home of his
birth and childhood, where he could receive
the kind and affectionate ministrations of a
loving mother ana surrounding 1r1enuS, only
regretting the absence of his sister and
brother-in-law, who had so lovingly watched
over him during his sickness at their home
in Minneapolis. On the 25th day of June,
1886, resting his head on the bosom of his
mother, surrounded by friends, he peace
fully and quietly breathed his last, all of
whom deeply mourn his loss, and cannot
refrain from wondering why it is that one
in the full pride and manhood of life, with
such fair prospects before him, and one upon
whom they had all dotted so much, should be
taken from them. But such is the decree of in
finite wisdom and justice, and they can only
exclaim, The Lord hath given, the Lord
hath taken away. Blessed be the name of
the Lord
Warren.
