THE GRIM REAPER.

Mr.. Dan Hornsby, who died Monday
at his residence in Hornsby's bend, was
Al years Of age and a native of this
county. He came of one of the pioneer
families of this state, his grandfather,

what is now known as Travis county.
Dan Hornsby was kind neighbor and
good citizen and no man in the county
had more and truer friends. He inher-
tied from his grandfather and father
that hospitality characteristic of the
early settlers, and like all the Hornsbys,
his latch string was always found on the
outside.
He died from the effects of an injury
received by fall. He was feeling
much better Saturday and rode over to
Manor, and on returning home he was
cheerful until bed time. He took sick
some time during the night and Sunday
morning found him unconscious. He
rallied some Monday forenoon, but il
was temporary and he passed away about
1880 Monday night. He was first in
Jured on the head by O fall from a stable
loft some time last year and during the
extreme cold Of last month he fell from
q wagon while he was unloading wood
and again injured himself very seriously.
He recovered sufficiently to 60 about and
attend to his business, but he had n
that he would die soon and
made all his arrangements for leaving
this world to meet his Maker. Coming
from calm, cool, courageous stock. he
met death without flincing, talked over
u calmly, gave minute instructions about
his business affairs and while up and
about with marvellous Christian forth
