Of respect to his memory. In 1858
he was selected as one Of the dis
'rict assessors for his township and
he filled this office for two years;
then in 1860 and 1861 he was coun-
ty assessor by election. In 1862 he
was appointed Judge of the County
Court and filed this place till 1866,
when he was chosen by the voters
of Audrain county to represent
the county in the State Legislature
for two years. It is gratifying to
his children and his numerous
friends, that it can he truthfully
said that in all places of public
trust he discharged his duties with
the strictest fidelity. Some ten
years ago he engaged in the bank
ing business in Sturgeon, and like
all other enterprises undertaken by
him, he gave it his undivided at
tention, and his success is the best
guarantee ofhis industry and fnan-
cial ability. In February he was
so feeble as to be forced to abandon
his work in the bank. He went to
live with his children in hopes OF
leeuperating his health, at least to
some extent, but he had fingered
too long at his desk and death soon
claimed him as a victim. He was
emphatlcally the poor mans friend;
without ostentatious display or
trumpet sounding he bestowed his
gifts without letting his right hand
know what his left hand did.
The golden rule was the guiding
star Of his life. Considered as a
whole his was a grand and success.

Esq, in Audrain county about four
miles northeast of Sturgeon, Mo-,
on Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock,
June 1, 1889. He had been in fail
ing health for several months and
his death was not surprising to his
most intimate friends. Indeed, he
was Conscious of his approaching
dissolution, and often spoke of it to
his children. Each day Witnessed
a steady decline of physical
strength, yet calmly, quietly and
patiently he waited its coming
without a complaint o. a groan.
He retained his consciousness al
most to his very last breath. A
few moments before his spirit took
lis flight from earth he took the
hand of each of his children and
,ade them a final farewell or
earth, then folding his hands on
mis- breast he breathed his last as
calmly and easily as Q child falling
to sleep.
