clan in the parish, and possibly in the
State, died at his home about 8 miles
from Abbeville on Sunday evening

moved to this parish, purchasing what
is now known as Bagley's Ramsey

ably active and vigorous man, and
practiced his profession steadily until
about two years ago when he was sud
denly stricken with blindness upon his
return from a meeting Of the Louisiana
State Medical Society. Since that
time he was compelled to remain at
home by reason of his infirmity, tax
ing however occasional outings to Wis
it his friends.
He leaves two sons, Ambrose and
Hunter and an unmarried daughter. A
man of many noble impulses and ster-
ling integrity his demise IS greatly &c
