county poor house near Princeton, of
WlHch he had been an inmate for some
months, and he was buried in the pot.

He lived at Lineville and in Decatur
county years ago and before the Civil
war studied medicine with the famous
DIR. Bowman who was then located at
Lneville. His unthrifty and "'neer do
well habits" caused a separation be.

several children many years ago, and
left dependent upon his own resources
he became an object of pity and charity
and finally in his old age pauper.-
