tian hope and restful trust especially

W. Henry Carter.
The funeral of w. Henry Carter, who
died on Tuesday, March 7, took place
last Thursday from the home of his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. F. A. Carter, 81
Spring street The services were con-
Quoted by Rev. Mr.. lyric, and the music
was furnished by the Imperial quartette.
There was large company present,
including Prof. Comstock and several of
the teachers from the Academy and nearly
SO OF Henry's class. A great many
flowers were sent by friends in town and
out of town. Some OF the pieces were
beautiful and appropriate. Among these
were an anchor from the teachers Of the
Academy, pillow with class name and
date from the class of 1902, harp from
is friends, and Is roses from THE Paper
Boys" Henry Carter was a great ia
popular with his classmates and held in
high esteem by his teachers. He was the
incarnation of honesty and straightfor-
wardness, in all that he did. His teach
ers bear testimony to his honesty and
faithfulness in his studies and in his reci-
tations. While he was a strong, vigor-
Gus, healthy boy, keenly loving the
sports and games of boys Of his age, and
entering into them heartily, he was never
rude or rough, but always kind, fair and
consderate. He was very thoughtful
for others and gentle in his treatment of
those younger than himself. A touching
testimony to this element in his character
was borne on a card sent by two little
girls, on which was inscribed, From
A. and b., who remember that Henry
was always kind to them" In his home
he was greatly beloved and was con-
stant source Of comfort to his parents.
In their bereavement they may be sure
that they have the sympathy of all who
know them or knew him. The interment
took place in Mt. Pleasant cemetery.
