Testimonial of the High Esteem in
Which He was Held.

Friday night at 8 o'clock death
came to relieve B. A. Meginniss of
earthly sufferiDgS. Ehe news spread
over the city rapidly and everywhere
there was the deepest sorrow. -.
On Sunday morning before he
went with his family to St. Teresa.
Returning Monday he was slightly
indisposed, but would not leave the
bank. Monday night he had chill
and was real i'll, but returned to. the
bank at the regular hour, Tuesday
against the protest of his physician
who felt alarmed about him. About
2 o'clock p. m. he had to. go home in
a carriage and send for the physician.
When the latter reached him he was
suffering with congestive chill.
This was relieved, but a complication
of other troubles set in and from the
first there was no hope.
Mrs, MeginniSs was sent for, and
came with all possible haste from St.
Teresa. Then the children were
next sent for, and all reached him in
time to be recognized, except Mrs.
Arbuckle, a married daughter, who
resides in Virginia. She reached here
in time for the funeral.
Three physicians and trained
nurse were with him all the time, and
everything that human kindness and
medical skill could suggest was done,
but to no avail. After four days OF
the most intense suffering he passed
away.
When there was no lingering hope
the family physician, DIR. Palmer,
felt called upon to inform him, out
as soon as the subject was preached
the patient relieved the embarrass-
ment of the situation s.by saying that
he realized his condition. In fact
the carefulness with which he ar
ranged-all his. business before taking
to bed leaves the impression that he
was the first to know 1t.
Everything is clear, not cloud
before me-" were about the last
words uttered by him, unconscious
ness soon coming on, from which be
never rallied.
The deceased had many warm
friends throughout the State,
Among the kilograms and letters OF
coincidence received by Mrs. Megin-
Miss were deep expressions of sorrow
from United States Senator TsIia-
ferro, State Senator and Mrs. G. B,
Rogers, Mrs. and Mrs. B. B. McCaa,
of Jacksonville, and innumerable
others from nearly every section of
the State.
Something of the esteem in which
he was held at home will be seen by
the following expressions which have
been sent to this Office for pUblica-
