II. Cowsert forsook its earthly tene-
ment and wendell its way to "a land
that is fairer than day." For many

he being in his 74th year. He was a
member of the Cumberland Presby-
terrain church in Spring Hill, and
had lived quiet christian life,
striving ever to be of use to those
around him. Funeral services were
conducted at the residence by Revs.
Taylor and Hardin, and were most
appropriate and comforting. TIE
host Of loving friends who gathered
to pay the last sad tribute to his
memory, attest the esteem in which
he was held. The remains were in
tered in Spring Hill cemetery by
the side of those of his wife, who
preceded bin to the grave seven
years ago. Besides host of relatives
and friends, he leaves five daughters
surviving him, viz: Mrs. Robert
Orman, Mrs. Joe Parham, of Spring
Hill; Mrs. jeff Martin, of Boston,
Tenn. Mrs. Clip DodsOn, Enon Creek
and Mrs. Lee Langley, with whom
he lived, near this place. To the
| bereaved ones we extend our heart
felt sympathy and bid them look up
and see in this loss their loved ones
gain, for he is resting with the
saints in glory" ~~*
