only two weeks of typhoid pneumonia,
died on Sunday afternoon. He was quiet
and gentlemanly in his manners, and
gave promise of a carser of usefulness, |
which renders his early taking off Pc

his family, following so soon that of his
mother, who died less than a year ACC
He was a member of the M. E. Sunday |
school and popular among his young
friends. The funeral took place on Wed
nesday morning with interment in the M
