glass of milk or water and shortly after
asked that his grandson be brought to
him. There were no indications that he
was dying until few minutes of four
when it was noticed that he was breath
ing with difficulty. A few minutes past
four o'clock he passed peacefully away
and thus ended a long and useful life.
