a successful merchant, and did much to

in which he lived. He won to himself
many friends through the nrbanity of
his manners, and in his generosity
of feeling went through life dispensing
to all around him the sunshine
emanating from an unselfish devotion to
lies duties.
AS public man he will be missed and
in the marts of trade the want OF his
presence will be felt. True to the inter
