was. q man Of generous impulses and .
kindly disposition. Beneath his rough
exterior there lived and beat heart that
was never The home Of malice, envy or
hatred. He lived in life's sunshine and
If clouds of adversely or misfortune dark
sned his path it as but momentarily.
He was always cheerful and happy and
aimed to make those with whom he as
sociated the same. He bore his last ILL
ness with Christian fortitude and when
death came it found him resigned and
ready to 60, consoled as he was by the
last rites of the Catholic Church Of which
he was faithful member. The funeral
took place from the family residence at
nine o'clock Saturday morning. The
funeral cortege was one of the largest
ever seen in that community, mum bering
about one hundred vehicles. The re-
mains were taken to. Shieldsville, where
