OBITUARY.

Horace f. Snow, one of North Brooks
ville's esteemed and worthy young men,
died March II at the home OF his father,
Charles L. Snow, after a short illness,
aged 81 years.
Mr.. Snow was born and brought up in
this town. As a boy he was kind and
dutiful, as young man he was social and
kind to his companions, and had the
faculty OF winning the esteem and con-
tidence of his associates. As a business
man he was industrious, honest and
upright. As a mechanic he tried to excel.
He was liberal in aiding the church, and
for every worthy cause of poverty and
distress Mr.. Snow could be depended
upon to do his part, with few words but
liberal aid.
About two years ago from hard work at
hi, trade, he broke down in health and
apparently was in decline. For the last
year he has seemed to rally so that his
parents and friends entertained hopes of
his recovery. About two weeks age,
while at work on the ice surveying lum-
Der for Mr.. Durgan, he contracted a
severe cold, which resulted i'll fever.
He leaves father, mother and one
brother.
The funeral services were held at the
home of his brother Sunday at 100 y. m.
The pastor of the Methodist church. Rev
d. Smith, otticiated. Appropriate seiec-
toms were finely rendered by the church
choir The service WAS quite largely Mt
tended by the young people of the place.
All Viii Miss his pleasant greetings, his
KIND words ana sweet voice In song at
oar meetings and social gatherings.
