kind hearted, genial old gentleman,
who attended strictly to his own
affairs and was kind and accommo
dating to all with whom he came in
contact. He was very devoted to
his family and the loss of his wife,
which occurred in Pleasant Hill q
few years ago, was a great blow from
which he never fully recovered. 1t
can be said of him that he was an
honest man and good citizen, and
what was given him to do, he did
with all his might. May his reward
be ''fat take" in the other world.

Yet her crushed heart could breathe the

And though our eyes with binding
tears grow dim,
From God you are, and when he calls
We give you back to Him.
