Crooked creek, he found it to be on
fire. He did not tarry long, but i'm
mediatcly procuring water he soon
put the fire out. 1t was fortunate
that Mr.. Hoy discovered the fire

death Of Can't. Joe. Bnrnside.

Thursday, August ed, 1895, at
about 2;3O o'clock p. m, Capt Joe
Burnside departed this life, at his
home in Henderson, surrounded by
his family and near friends
The deceased was in the 56th
year of his age. He had been in bad
health for some time, but was able
to go about an attend to business
until about a week or ten days ago,
when he was compelled to take his
bed, and there remained until Death
claimed him as his own.
The deceased was we'll known to
all river men, and stood high among
them He had been engaged in
stcamboating on the Ohio and
Kanawha rivers for a number of
years, but when his health began to
fail him, year or two ago, he en-
gagged in farming and mercantile
business.
Capt. Burnside stood high in this
community, and everybody was his
friend, and he the friend of every
body.
1t is hard to realize that we shall
see the imposing presence, feel the
genial hand grasp and hear the glad
salutation of our friend DO more.
But we may comfort ourselves with
the reflection that his was life well
rounded out with duties always per-
formed, charity and kindness never
withheld, and that he bore the re-
spect and affection of all who were
brought into contact with him in
every relation of life.
He was indeed a man
"who wounded none with jeer or jest, yet
bore no honeyed tongue;
Was social With the gray haired one, and
merry with the young;
He gravely shared the council speech, or
joined the rustic game,
And shone as natures gentleman, in every
place the same"
The deceased was a member in
good standing in the Odd Fellows
and Masonic Lodges of Pomeroy,
o., and his funeral will be conduct
ed by these Orders in Point Pleas
ant, which takes place Sunday at
10 a M, from his late residence
in Henderson. Sermon at Trinity
Church in Point Pleasant Inter
mont in Lone Oak Cemetery.

thousands of sufferers have become
discouraged.
