of the death of Mr.. Joseph Hargrove,
Jr.. who passed away quietly at his /
residence on Venable st near Is h |
st.. on Thursday, the 9th inst. For
many months Mr.. Hargrove has been
lconfined TO his room, his illness being
of such a nature as TO exclude him
| from making any prolonged exertion
Despite the careful attention of the
Iphvsicians attending him, he grew
worse and on Wednesday night pre-
ceding his untimely end, it was seen
that he was not destined long for this
world of tolls. The deceased was a
member of the Fountain Bapt. Church
and during the time of his member
shin he clearly showed and lived the
life of a consistent christian and con-
stantly upheld the glorious banner of
Jesus Christ. He held the position of
teacher in the Sunday School and also
as orpanist for the church.
/ Rev. a. Il. Williams preached a
thrilling and soul-stirring sermon
(which was listened to eagerly, and
tears seem to dim the eyes of all pres
emit. As tribute of respect many ho-
raj designs were strewn upon the beau
tiful casket among which was beau
tiful design purchased by some of his
music scholars in token of their love
and appreciation. He was for many
