saddened by the death of Carlos Mox-

He had been in usual health as he
supposed and had been at Barton that
day, returning about supper time.

and ate light supper. He was man
that never surrendered for an ordina-
ry ailment and he went to the field to
help get in load of hay. He pitched
on part of it when he stopped pitch
ing, placed his hand over his stomach
and fell to the ground dead man.
He was very enterprising and STIR
ring man, prominent member of the
F. B. church, a kind neighbor and a
good citizen. He will be greatly miss
ed in his neighborhood and town.
