was one of the saddest events ever known
here. For nine years among us, he had
attached himself to all who knew him by
his noble, Christian manhood and his gen.
ial, sunny nature. No words can describe
the universal sorrow felt at his loss, for he
was beloved of all and was one OF the most
| highly esteemed of men. The funeral,
Feb. list, was the largest ever held here,
the church being literally packed. His
Sunday school class buried mis- body in
lilies as II reposed in the casket. Other
tributes OF love and grief were no less
touching. tie was inferred at Barnard,
his former home. His age was AZ years,
mos. and IL days. His wife having buried
her mother, Mrs. Atwood, two weeks pre-
viously from the same home, she is now
left entirely alone, and the home, from
one of the brightest, is now changed to
one most sad aud desolate. All who know
her mourn with her in this, our common
loss and sorrow. A. j. 5.
