disease, of Which he died, began to
manifest itself. All that friends could
do or that medical science could sug-
gest was dor Q to arrest the progress OF
the disease, but without avail.
A young brother of the young man,
Frank, last year accompanied him to
Colorado in hope that Willie, as he was
familiarly called, might have tie bene-
fits to be derived from that climate,
and, to the great distress OF the family
and friends, he too became a victim OF
the disease, aud now lies at deaths
door in the same home just saddened
by the death of Willie.
The funeral took place on Monday |
and DR.. Quarles, of Washington and
Lee, the former teacher of the dead
boy, came and preached bis funeral
after which the interment took place |
in the town cemetery
The deceased was consistent mem
Der Of the Presbyterian Church and
had always led an exemplary life.
