Hewitt. son of Isaiah Hewitt, after a
short illness. The cause of death was
dysentery. The subject of this notice
was born March 8, 1861, and leaves a
father, five brothers and four sister; his
mother, one brother, and one sister
having preceded him to the better land.
He was a good citizen, kind brother,
and highly esteemed by his neighbors
as was evidenced by the large con-
course that attended the funeral. A
very appropriate and touching funeral
sermon was preached by Rev. j. d.
Niles, of Kingmap county, from st.
Mark sth chapter and 18th verse, after
which the remains were laid to rest IN
the Mumford cemetery.
It's hard to break the tender cord,
When love has bound the heart.
Ills bard. SO hard. to speak the words,

Dearest loved one, we must lay thee,
In the peaceful graves embrace,
But thy memory viii be cherished
Till we see thy heavenly face.
There is mourning round a hearthstone.
There Is silence DER the neighborhood;
For the sunlight of a presence.
Has been quenched by sudden gloom,
Manhood's hopes and dreams extfnguished
By the darkness Of the tomb.
