IN MEMORY

OF J. Bolton Pool, who was born Dec.
4th 1915, and died April 1st 1897. Age
81 years, 8 months aud % days. Bro.
Pool was twice married, first to Miss
Caroline Holcomb. Of which union,
there was one son born who lived to
yield mp his life upon the battle field OF
Virginia, in his 'country's cause" Soon
after the birth of this child his wife
died. and In Nov. 1874 he married Mrs
II. Amanda Casey, OF which union one
son was born, who went West in 1868,
and has not been heard from since.
Hence, Bro. Pool and his companion
OF more than 80 years have lived their
lives in loneliness, with none to cheer
them In their declining days save the
comforts which came to them in believ-
Ing IN and appropr!ating the "Precions
promises Of Risen Saviour" in whom
they believed, and put their trust.
Bro. Pool was almost an invalid Tor
years, and when 10 doors his Bible was
his constant comp anion. While feeble
in health, he had a good business brain
that brought to him a good living, and
he leaves q competency for his beloved
companion, whom he leaves behind,
and who mourns and feels his loss
deeply, He never was demons rative
over any one or any undertaking, but
no genuine appeals for help, or charity
went away empty.
His motto was mot TO let the left
hand know what the right hand did,
! He WAS a member of the Rantis.

Edward Musgrove, whose pame has

the bloody strife. He died 10 1902, aged
20, aud was buried near his home. By
his first wife he had son by the name
Of Beaks, who joined the Loyalists, or
Torier, as they were called. Paddy
Carr, one Of Colonel Clarke's daring
soldiers, captured Beaks in his fathers
house. When he had his sword ready
to kill Beaks. Mary Musyr threw
herself between them aud saved her
brothers life. Either through fear, or
prompted by some o'her motive, he
never united with the Tories sgaip.
About the cTcse of the war he lett the

son who became a very eccent ric Bap-
