He was converted and Joined the
Cumberland Presbyterian church
when IL or II years Of age, and

Lord said cit is enough, come W

Unusually cheerful and courteous,
he won for himself host of friends,
as was evidenced by the great con-
course of people who attended has
funeral, held at the Congregational
church at Alvaretta.
His remains were taken charge OF
and conducted TO the cemetary near

which he was a member, and after
the usual appropriate and touching

can not refrain from penning a
few, at least, of his many virtues
one of which was his abiding friend
ship.
When a friend he was true and
lifelong friend. He loved his friend,
and his friends loved him.
Another of his virtues was the
strength Of his home attachment
He was all that could be asked or
expected, an affectionate brother, q
fond husband and devoted father.
He was almost idolized by his fam
lily.
Another of his virtues was his
social nature, bright and happy
disposition.
He was a member of the I. @. O
+. and G. "A. r., and his brethren
who have met him in lodge and
post fully realize his virtue in this
regard.
He was very charitable and be
nevolcnt, and was recognized as
such on all sides.
In his death we mourn the loss
OF true friend and brother.
Let us emulate the example OF
the departed.
He leaves eight children, two
step daughters, four brothers and
four sisters, and host of relatives
and friends to mourn his departure
The sorrow Of his family is too
deep for any words at our command
to comfort them. Hence we com
mend them to Him who said.
"Ble sed are they that mourn,
for they shall be comforted."

For several years my early morning
walk lay through the first block of
West Fifty-seventh street. where l used
regularly to meet milkman delivering
milk. He would take from his wagon a
rack containing several bottles and go
from house to house. while his old gray
horse walked sedately on alone
One morning as 1 was passing the
pair midway the block the man said to
his horse:
..Go ON. Jim, and turn at No. Z.
watched with interest. Jim did go
on until exactly opposite No Z. Then
he carefully turned and walked back to
his 1naster-or shall / say cOmrade ?
