disease pneumonia.
Rev. Blair came to our little city

the Cum bertrand Presbyterian church
which position he has occupied since
with credit to himself and honor to
the church. During this time, by

every citizen of this town, and his
death was cause for sorrow on every
hand.
His funeral took place on Friday,
when he was laid to rest in our beau

auspices Of the Butler Masonic lodge
of which he was an honored member.
Rev. S. F. King, of Warrensburg,
