In Memory


OF Frank s. Watson, who departed this
life at Neosho Rapids, Lyon county,
Kansas, November 10. 1856, in his Goth
year, OF quick consumption. The sub
ject of this notice with his parents moved
to this place from Ohio one year ago.
The 10Th Of last May he entered into the
employ Of ]. K. Tyler in his lumber
yard ct Cimarron. Later he had charge
OF a yard for Mr.. Tyelr at Fargo Springs,
and while In that part of the state he con-
tracted q severe cold which settled upon
his lungs and the 9Th Of August he came
home and has been under medical treat
ment while life lasted. Neither the kind
care Of loving parents or the hopeful dis-
position Of their son could stay the ravaget
of the destroyer consumption, and brave
Iy and manfully he submitted to the in
evitable. A few moments before death
he babe his father and mother an sffec-
tiOnate farewell, and with final kiss ht
assured them he should soon be with his
sisters, Belle and Kake.
AS the parents have buried the last o.
thee children, while their heads ART
blossomiDg for the grave and as they are
looking for resting place by and by,
their hearts are oheered In the hope OF {
reunion in the new earth. Mr. and Mrs
Watson have the sympathy Of their many
friends in this their sfflIction. The flu.
neral discourse was delivered at theil
residence in this city on the 12h by z. r
Stone.
