OBITUARY.
In letter to o. r. Gaskill, of this
city, Mr.. James Hyatt, of San Jose
California, gives the following par.
ticulars of the death of r. G. Fore.
graves, formerly of Oskaloosa: "His
death occurred Friday evening, April
20. The family spent January and
February in Pasadena, and in March
went to Santa Barbara to stay till Isl
of April; but he declined so rapidly
that they thought best to get home
before he got too weak to come, and
it was we'll they came when they did
The trip was very trying on him, and
as their home was occupied SO they
could not get it until the 18th of this
month, they went to a Sanitarium,
which the doctor recommended, say
ing he needed good nursing and diet
more than medicine. He had the best
of care in every way, but nothing
could avail to save him. He was able
to walk about the room for week or
two and was dressed every day till
the last week or less. They got their
home fixed up SO that they moved
him last Wednesday without any diff.
ficulty. He had been very anxious
to get into his home before he should
pass away, which he realized he should
before great while; but he was toe
weak to appreciate his home when he
got there. While we all felt that his
time was comparatively short for this
life we did not think he would go quite
so soon. He had great many friends
who visited him, which was a great
satisfaction to him, though most OF
the time he was unable to converse
much, owing to shortness of breath
The funeral was held on Sunday, a
short service at the house conducted
by the pastor of the Congregations
church, then the Knights took charge
and conducted the service at the Gem
etery."

Beautiful toiler, thy work all done,
Beautiful soul into glory gone,
Beautiful life with it's crown now won
God giveth thee rest.
Rest from all sorrows, watching and
fears,
Rest from all possible signing and
tears,
Rest through Gods endless, wonder
full years,
At home with the blest.
Beautiful spirit, freelfromIall stain,
Ours the heartache, the sorrow anC
pain,
Thine is the glory and infinite gain,
Thy'slumber is sweet.
Peace'on the brow and the eyelids 81
calm,
Peace.dropping down like wondrou
balm,
From the head to the feet.
"Itwas so sudden, "our white lips said
Father, we shall miss thee, the beau
tiful dead;
Who'll take the place of the preciou
one fed?
But God knoweth best.
We know He watches the sparrow
that fall,
Hears the sad cry of the grievet
hearts that call,
Friends and kindred, he loveth then
all,
We can trust for the rest.
