OF his death. Late in the evening he went
out to attend to the feeding of his COWS, and
not returning in due time his wife went to
see what detained him. She observed that he
had brought two bundles of fodder and
thrown them over the fence near the stable,
which she gave to the COWS and made fur
ther search for her husband, going to the
fence where the fodder had laid she saw
his PROSTATE form n the other side laying
cold in death. From appearances he never
moved from the time he fell. The deceased
was an honest, uprig citizen, had spent
his earliest life in the vicinity of Stonewall
in the employ of the late John Seawright

and decided in his opinions. In the late
