CURED before many Of his friends
learned Of his illness. Mr. Hixon
recently took a soldiers ) home

having been a memberof q Wis
consin cavalry regiment during
the rebellion. He was q gentle
man in every sense Of the word,
and although he was known for
many years as q sporting man
his honor was above reproach,
and never did a deserving person
apply to him for aid that he did

was his friend.
The funeral occurred at the
Presbyterian church last Monday
afternoon at 2 o'clock and was
