Marked copies Of the Enterprise and the

During his stay in town he
made many friends, having no bad habits,
very careful as to the company he kept,
always faithful and Jealous in his work and
strove to have all his work done with cor.
rectness, being at all times cordial and pleas.
ant In his relations with all with whom he
came in contact He was tall for his age
being but the fraction of an inch less than 6
feet.
The symptoms of typhoid fever were quite
strongly marked before his leaving here but,
like all of us he preferred to be sick At home
although he would have received the best OF
care at the hands of MIR. and Mrs. Gaines and
all his associates In the hotel.

John Carl Damuth was a
young man Of excellent character. In all
respects he proved himself worthy OF the
friendship and confidence of the community
both of which he received and appreciated.
In his eth year, and already doing mans
WORK In the world he had the bright smbi-
tions of youth We do not doubt but this
young man would have attained, In large
measure his expectation had he lived, for he
had 10 him the right kind of material out Of
which good and reliable men are made.
