a pathetic feature OF the gathering al
the residence was the presence OF sew
eral White-haired Old-timrs from Piu-
mas county, Mr.. Chambers home in
his young manhood. All OF them had
I been befriended by Mr.. Chambers iu
his quiet. transformations way, all of
them loved him and had eloquent
words Of praise for his unseIfish loyalty
to the men he had known in his you'll
and remembered until the day of his
death
