husband, Capt. Joseph Reeder. this
city, December 9th, 1889. Mrs.
Susan Reeder, aged fifty-two years
Mrs. Reeder has been a confirmed
invalid for the last twenty EIGHT
years, during which time of long
continued suffering she was never
known to complain at her lot, but
bore her pains and ills unmurming-
ly and with full christian resigna-
ton. Mrs. Reedcr became a mem
Der of the Baptist Church in 1867,
and was a consistent member there
of, walking strictly in the faith in
accordance with the discipline of
that church, until about two years
ago, when on coming to this city,
finding no regularly organized
Baptist Church here, she attached
herself to the Methodist Church,
South, under the pastoral care OF
Rev. Mallory, who, on the 18th ult.,
performed the last sad rides to her
memory at Lone Oak Cemetary
near this city. Mrs. Reeder was a
kind, good woman, good wife, moth
err and friend, and above all sim
cere consistent christian. To her
bereaved husband, daughter and
sister who by love, faithful, watch
ing, care and devotion, made her
,"dying bed feel as soft as downy
pillows are" we tender our SINGER
est sympathies.
DEATH OF AN OLD SOLDIER Capt.
Barney J. Rollins, Co. G, Fourth
West Virginia Infantry, of Letart,
a gallant and faithful old veteran,
in the Goth year of his age, died at
his beautiful residence on the Ohio
river, on the 25th inst. Capt. Roll
ms was among the first of our county
men who volunteered in the service
of the Union, and served his coun-
try faithfully and periodically du-
ring the war, and only quilted the
tented field and abandoned his COM
mand when disbanded by Gen.
Grant at Appomatox, April, 1865
From constant duty, hard service
and continued exposure to cold and
vicissitudes of weather, Capt. Roll
ms contracted severe infiammatory
rheumatism during the war, result
ing in complication of diseases,
from which he died. While sold
Ter, faithful, strong and determined,
was none the less an upright, hon
orable, refined and elegant gentle
man, honored, esteemed and respec-
ted by all with whom he came in
contact, whether in social life, bust
ness transactions, or in the political
arena. lie was strong alike in his
political convictions, and represent
cd this county many years ago, ably
and faithfully in the Legislature OF
our State, as Republican. He al
so held many other offices of honor
and trust in our county, all of which
he filled honestly and conscientious
ly. Through the native kindness
of his soul and bigness of his heart
and disposition ever to come to the
help of the distressed and poor, he
by endorsement of paper, has had
many thousands of dollars to pay
on security debts, embarrassing the
poor old man in his declining years,
yet he has quite sufficiency left to
pay all his indebtedness and leave
his bereaved and disconsolate wild
ow in comfortable circumstances
We believe we can confidently say
that Capt. Rollins, now gone forev-
or from our sight, lived and died
without an enemy. Peace to his
ashes, and sincere sympathy for
those who mourn his loss. Y.
