often that one passes out of life who will
be more hkeenly missed than Ephraim

a life CT sixty-seven years, that he will not
soon be forgotten. He was very loyal to

appreciated his good qualities and r9mem-

sad providence that he should have been
the victim of a cruel accident SO soon
after the death of his wife, TO whom he
had faithfully ministered through long
and distressing sickness. For three weeks
after the injury to his spine he WAS cared
for in his home by kind neighbors, under

thought best by the doctor and his son,
who came from his home in Waltham,
