nected with the postal service here for
quite awhile, and afterwards was con-
nected with the Adams express compa-
ia. He was young man of exemplary
habits, a kind and dutiful son, and a
loving brother. He was the ideal of his
parents, and their grief at his untimely
death is all that they can bear.
The parents were at the bedside of
their boy when he died. lie returned

had gone in pursuit of health, which he
did not find. He died at the home of a
kind lady with whom he had boarded,

Presbyterian church, where services
were held at 8 O'Clock, Rev. North
preaching an appropriate sermon. The
body was buried at Highland cemetery,
a large number of friends being present.
