this afternoon in Glenwood cemetery. Born

joyed the esteem and confidence of his
neighbors and associates. Many prominent
buildings remain monuments to his
painstaking and Industrious ability
The funeral, from his late residence, No.

which of them offers the greatest ;,d-
vantages. 1t seems to us that the &c

soil and climatic conditions Of NcWpor.
