Death Of W. L. Grimm

To THE OrTIo.
In Puerto de Luna, Feb. IS, st 1:15
passed away cur good friend, W.
L. Grimm, aged about 3S years. Very
silently came the grim messenger and
removed him from our circle. He was
a man Of sterling worth and staunch
character, noble ana unselfish in his
acts, and though silent and reserved,
he was endowed with great fortltude
and courage, patience and hope. His
short stay here had endeared him to
many of us aud his absence will bs de-
plored by many, many friends. His
acts of honesty and uprightness will be
worthy of imitation. We feel that he
has gone to meet The reward Of a just
man. To his Immediate family we ex-
tend our heartfelt sympathy, and while
they will feel the almost irreparabIe
loss OF husband, father and son. there
is this consoling thought: He has
Joined the great family of angels, has
reached his tinal home, there, pain, sor-
| row, sickness ana sadness are atan end
there tears are turned to smiles The
weak voice is made strong and. weep:
ng wife. dear son aud loving mothers
today your husband, father and son is
singing glad songs with the ransomet
ones. He has only gone before"
Meet me there. oh. meet me thcrc,
4 at the dawning Of the morning, bright and
l. fair,
In the land beyond the river.
Meet me there. oh, meet me there.
