way of medical skill and careful nurs-
ing was done, but the messenger of
death finally arrived, and the spirit of
one of the most honorable and highly
respected residents of the whole state
departed for the unknown beyond,
from whose bourne no traveller re-
turns.

one who knew him ever doubted but
what it would be fulilled. During his
residence here, by strict economy anC
untiring industry, he built up the ex-
tensive brewing business which bears
his name. Ee has been an honored
