we'll supplied with good books and
paper and kept himself posted on the
literature and the current events of the |
lay, and his fund of knowledge thus |
gained, together with his general intel

an entertaining companion, both for the |
young and the old.
From early training and choice he
was Presbyterian, but, as there was
no society of that denomination here,
he attended the M. E. Church, as long
as the state of his health would permit
He was twice married. The first un-

Miss Margaret Elliott. The second mar

Miss Elizabeth Reece, who, in advanc-

held at the family residence on Sabbath
by Rev. ]. l. Taggart and the remains
were taken to Hillsboro for interment.
