was not therefore, unexpected, yet it is
greatly regretted. He was respected by
all and was always recognized as an honest
and worthy citizen He was raised near
Portersville, Muddycreek Tp., this county.
While vet young man he came to Butler
(about IS50) and was connected for time
with the late William ). Boyd in the mer-
camille business. Soon after this he return
ed to Portersville and was engaged there
in store keeping up to the close OF the late
war. Having a large stock of goods on

the sudden close of the war, common re-
suit then, and this was as unfortunate Tor

similar business. In 1872 he purchased a
lot in Butler and shortly afterwards re-
moved here, building and residing in the
house in which he died. In 1878 and in

the Republican primaries for the office of
prothonotary. but was unsuccessful each

appointed Clerk to the County Commis-
sionerS, an office he continued to hold for
several years. with credit to himself and to
the benefit of the county. After leaving
that office his health was such as to pre-
clude him from engaging in any active
business In all the reverses of fortune
that may have attended him his good
character for integrity was never called in
question. On Sunday last his remains
were deposited in the e. P. Church portion
of the South Cemetery a church of which
all his life he had been member, and
were followed to the grave by a large num-
Der Of relatives, friends and citizens. The
funeral services at the house were conduct
ed by Rev Mckee of the L. p. Church, of
this place, whose discourse on the occasion
was appropriate and instructive.
He leaves a widow and eight children
to mourn his loss.
