DRILL.
The death of Mr.. Oliver b. Drill, a
his home, few miles from this city
last Saturday, directly resultant from al
accidental kick by young horse
whilst passing through the stable
few days previous, produced a genera
feeling of sorrow and sympathy in thi
community; the one that young lif
should be so suddenly taken ava,
just in the prime Of health and useful
ness, aud the other for u loving wifi,
and devoted mother and sisters, who's
cup of bitter anguish has been drained
even t." the dregs. The injury whicl
Mr.. Drill received was looked upol
from the first with grave doubts by tn,
doctors and everything within range o
their science.was done forhis recovery
but Providence willed otherwise. Tn,
end came at nine O'clock, calmly ant
peacefully. There was no better known
or more generally esteemed member o
a community than the deceased. A
native of this county, he found in early
life his vocation in farming, This b,
continued up to the time of his sad de
mise. Several years ago he married
Miss Annie fanny, of Baltimore. Ht
was in every respect an enterprising
capable aud popular young man wh'
needed only opportunities to achieve
success. Those who knew him, respect
ed his worthy characteristics, and 9th
ers who did not, knew him by reputa
ton. In the coming spring he hat
contemplated changing his presen
farm for one of larger size, and it is in
deed the ironv of fate that his purpos,
should have been SD violently thwait t
ed. United sympathies are held ou
by loving friends and acquaintances
to the members of the deceased's fam
lily, with the hope that the thought q
Gods wisdom, Who does all things fo
the best, will in some degree temper
the poignancy of their grief. The fu
neral of Mr.. Drill took place on las
Tuesday afternoon, at one O'clock, from
the family home, the services being
conducted by Rev. Osborne Ingle
The internient was made in Mt
Olivet Cemetery, the pail bearers be-
ing Messrs. George Thomas, Harry
Nicodemus and George Kolb, of Balti
more; Daniel S. Miller, Charles S
Howard and VIM. Anderson, of Fred
erick.
