OBITUARY.
MINORS

On Saturday morning last George
Polk Minors died at the age Of As years
from pneumonia after an illness of but
one week. Mr. Miuors was well known
in this town where he was born and al
ways resided. In early life he engaged
in the mercantile business in the store
now occupied by d. H. Holland & Son.
Later he embarked in the coal and lum-
Der business as a partner of II. Barber
with whom he was associated at the
time of his death Too much cannot be
said in his praise as he was always known
as a straightforward business man and
gentleman highly respected by all
who knew him. He leaves a wife who
I is a daughter of R. II. Davis. Inter
ment was made in Odd Fellows Gene
terry on Monday, Rev. Robert Watt
officiating The writer of this tribute
has scarcely yet recovered fr"m the shock
caused by the news that George p.
Minors was dead Surely in the midst
of life we are in death " His sun has
goue down while it was yet day The
life of our departed friend was too well
known to need extended mention. In
business transactions accurate and exact |
to a fault in manner gentle and urbane; !
in heart kind and thoughtful; quick to I
sympathize with the needy aud uniortu- |
nate and ever ready to extend the help /
ing hand of a kindly disposition he will |
be greatly missed. His good deeds were
prompted ard goveri ed by the rule, I
''iet not thy left hand know what thy
right hand doeth Many there are
who will rise up and call him blessed.
In his home life lie was seen at his best.
Untiring in deviation, almost womanlY
in tenderness, quick to divine aud re-
lieve the slightest want, what wonder
that the light has turned to darkness
bv his sudden and unlocked for removal
But the shadows are wOuderously illu-
mined by the memory of that patient
face and loving presence. This religi' us
life was quiet and unOstentatous. Cou- .
verted III Sunday School prayer meet {
ing held in the old NJ, E. Church, more {
than a quarter of a century ag' he
looked back on that happy event as the
turning point in bis life. His was not
an exuburent demonstration type of ]
pietv. but it was nevertheless true aud ]
abiding For a quarter Of century he {
was an official III the church of his
choice and he was as deeply devoted TO
her secular interests as he was to her
spiritual welfare. 1t was a principle
with him to give to the Lords cause
one tenth of his income. He will be
missed in the family, in the church and
in the community, We take comfort III {
the thought that his influence still hn-
gers for "the memory of the just Is
blessed"
