Obituary.

We find in an exchange an obituary OF
native of Belfast who died in Colorado. At
the funeral the officiating clergyman, Rev.
j. f. Harris, of the Methodist Episcopal
church, read the following sketch:
DIR. A. P. Rogers was born in Belfast,
Maine, June 20, 1887, and died at his home
in Canon City, Col, April %, 1896. He was
converted at the early age of IL, and
united with the Methodist Episcopal church,
in which he remained faithful until God
called him to join the church Triumphant.
la 1861, being true to his countrys call, he
joined the First Maine Cavalry, but by a fall
from horse was disabled for service and in
consequence was honorably discharged from
the army.
In 1864 he was united in marriage with
Miss Sarah McCann of Ashland, Maine.
Two daughters We're born to them, the
younger of whom died in infancy, the older,
Mrs. Ida Waters, has come to mature
! womanhood and has been permitted all
| through these days and weeks of pain, to
minister in love to her devoted father.
| In 1876 DR.. Rogers began the practice OF
| medicine in Washington, d. G. After -
years of successful work he was compelled,
| on account of failing health, to seek change
| of climate. He directed his steps westward
| and soon found a home in this delightful
little city, where he again took up his pro-
| fession, and many the people who bless
| his name to-day for fevers cooled and for
strength restored. Like the Great Physi-
clan he healed many without price, In the
presence of the King he has his reward.
DIR. Rogers faithfulnes5 and dev .tion to
| his church made him valuable helper in
all its work. His place was always filled in
the public service, in the prayer meetings
| and in the business meetings, when his
health would permit his attendance. His
| counsel sought in all matters of bust
! his AID mONemput
| touching the progress of ChriSt's Kingdom
in our midst. Because of these things many
mourn their loss to-day, but none are 50 be
re.r as the devoted wife in her loneliness
and the loving daughter with her family.
Marked devotion characterized the lives
| of this welded pair and none but God can
fill the void to the frail companion who sits
| in submissive sorrow assured that God
loves her too we'll to be unkind and is far too
| wise to make q mistake,
May these sad ones, and all others who
loved our deceased brother, live like him a
life Of constant readiness to hear the call to
higher, better, nobler life.
SO ends the well spent life
life for others given;
| Cntirng in the struggle for the right,
That life is al rest i'll Heaven
