lock reading an obituary of the de

and which we publish. He followed
with an analysis Ofthe character anC
life of the deceased father and touch
ingly and beautifully portrayed tn,
sterling virtues of his character. III,
was followed by Rev. J. q. Vaughan
who also spoke strong and eloquen
words of the virtues, of the nobility O
mind, of the sincerity of Purpose ant
the work accomplished by him who's,
body now lies in the casket.
Then the Masonic brethren read til,
beautiful and impressive ritual a.
their order over the mortal remains
of the deceased brother, Major a. +
Vance officiating.
The casket was draped with a fiaG
and covered with rare and beautiful
flowers, the eighty-eight roses being

The flag was furnished by w. A
Brand, Post No. 9S, q. \. r., as was
also an escort.
as follows: Brand WhitlOck, John II
Jr.; William q. Whitlock and Car
A. Ross. Interment took place il
Oak Dale cemetery.
Thus were paid the last sad rites to d
strong, good man, one who never con
suited policy. .One whose virtues we all
can emulate, one who was a leader in
the miglItiest reform of modern his.
tory. He belonged to class who re-
fused to bow to eXpediency, but or.
ganized events to make it expedien,
to be right-a class we fear noted by
it's scarcity in current politics. He
was the stuff of which heroes and
leaders are made-a spirit which rose
to the magnitude of great occasions
and left his influence stamped with
indelible lines upon his community
and country. 1t is pleasure for us
to pay this tribute to the character
of this father and faithful champion
of principle. Such men are the salt
of the earth.
