pioneers and highly respected citi-
zens, passed away at his home
Tuesday morning, November LIST,
At 6 o'clock, after . painful illness
Of five months.
Mr.. Regli had been . sufferer for
several years from Bright's disease
Of the kidneys which eliminated
in dropsy and heart trouble. He
was attended by DR.. Nourse of
Haley during his entire illness,
and at one time was 80 much i'm
proved that hopes we're entertained
Of his ultimate recovery, but the
complication of diseases bafi1ed
medical skill, and while his condi-
ton seemed to be less critical than
it had for several weeks previously,
Tuesday morning just as tho grey
dawn was breaking he suddenly
gave a gasp and expired in . few
moments, passing away - if going
to sleep, like ono who lies down to
pleasant dreams.
It is sad duty for us to chroni-
Gle the inroads that death makes in
our midst-taking from the home
circle some loved one-leaving a
vacant chair 1t the Preside and
desola.e hearts yearning ''for the
touch of q vanished hand and the
sound of voice that is STILL" But
it is with more than ordinary sor-
row that we pen these lines as a
last tribute to our departed citizen,
| whose death is attended with un-
usual distressing circumstances, for
it leaves . home desoiated by the
taking away of its last treasures
heart-broken wife, whose tears were
still flowing for the death Of an only
child when the grim messenger
came and took from her side a
kind, devoted husband upon whose
arm she leaned for support to guide
her faltering footsteps through the
dark vale Of sorrow. Widowed and
childless, she weeps alone, and will
not be comforted.
The full sympathy Of the com
munity goes out to Mrs. Regll II
the shadow of the affection thai
has come upon her in the death o.
= devoted husband, whose calling
away 10 most pitiabls, for it sewers
the last link Of the chain which
binds her to this world.
i It is . terrible trial for any wo
man to pass through, and friends
!, helpless to comfort her-they car
only point out to the grief-stricker
widow that this life is q transitory
one-that beyond the waiting ane
the weeping rest from sorrow vii
. come; that in that heavenly lane
+ she and her loved ones will NEE
r again to part no more.
