OF them is a tortoise-shell case. with

Obituary..

Willie Nukes was born April 9th,
1866, died July 4th, 1898, aged 33 years,
2 months and days. With his parents
and grandparents he spent his youth and
passed with honored tread to respected
manhood. This he did with friends who
honored him and relatives who loved
him. On January I'd, 1890, he was unit
ed in marriage to Lilly Kilgore, of Hills.
boro, O. This union was blessed with
years of unalloyed Happiness till disease
left its impression on vital cord. Then
with the fortitude of a Christian he
patiently bore his suffering and pain.
He was converted during his sickness.
and after his conversion he often said to
loved and devoted wife and father that
he was ready and willing to die. He
longed to 60 and be at rest. It has been
said that it mstters not wheH we die, so
we die Christian. Such was the death
of Willie Nukes. He leaves a wife and
father and many friends to mourn his
loss. His funeral was preached by Rev.
E. L. Knox, after which his remains
were taken to Hillsboro where he was
laid to rest to await the resurrection
morn. K.
