continuous service in this city, with
the exception of DR.. Power.

died. Her passing away was a severe
blow to her brother. Indeed those
most intimate with him say he was

He vas popular with all classes, but

revered He had a singulariy happy and
friendly disposition. His charity, both in
word and deed. was one OF his strongest
characteristics. His purse was ever open
to the poor and distressed and his gem

for all. He was as simple and guileless
as a child and as honest in his every
thought and act as any being that ever
breathed Capable of no meanness or
pettiness himself he found 1t hard to
judge others harshly, and an encourage
