The funeral discourse proper will,
however. be delivered at same hour
in same church Sunday morning, Jan.
Is. by Rev. James Miller, pastor OF
the Main street Baptist church.
Mr.. Haddock was regarded as one
of the best preachers his church here
has ever had. So at other places
where he ministered, and his high
reputation as an author among the
| Welsh Hteroti is generally acknowl-
edged. Besides the at1liction incurred
by his large family in his illness and
| death, many admirers Of his talent
| and worth feel that this loss is a calam-
ity.
Mrs. Haddock and eight children
survive. three of the latter quite
| grown.
