William Cuzick was born near
Richmond. KY, November 4, 1872,
and died near Lexington, KY, Sept.
70, 1898. His health had been failing
him for some time, and he spent sew
eral weeks this summer at MOnegaw
Springs, but was not much benefited.
He went on the excursion to Cincin-
natl and then to Kentucky to visit
rslatives and recuperate, but his
time was short. He was stricken
down and in three weeks from the
day he left home he was laid to rest
beneath Kentucky soil. When a
small boy his parents moved to
Texas, from there they moved to
Henry county, Mo, and in 1874 moved
to Bates county. His father died 16
years ago, his sister Lizzie about 9
years ago. William and his brother
John cared for the mother and sister
Ida; when John married the burden
fell on his willing shoulders. About
two years ago his mother married
Amanzar Hensley, who lived but a
short time. William was one of our
Industrious young men, had many
warm friends among the old and
Young, alway ready to perform his
DUTY. He was an active member of
the Virginia band. He will long be
remembered by the people of Nir-
glnla. His mother, brother and sis
ter have the sympathy of the entire
community. His mother has passed
through many trials since she has
come among us. To his memory by
the writer:
We miss thee, kind friend, from our
gatherings,
We miss thee everywhere we go.
a shadow Ger our society is cast,
We miss thy smiling face.
We miss thy kind and gentle voice,
Thy fond and earnest care,
our society is dark without thee,
we miss the every where.
