died Thursday, March 20, 1902, at
1890 p. m.
During the past few weeks we have
been oft reminded of the transitory
condition of this world, and that the
"grim reaper" and death and change
is always and ever with us 1t be-
comes our painful duty to chronicle
the not unlooked-for demise of the
subject of this sketch, who has been a
long sufferer from that dreaded disease,
cancer. His family and a number of
relatives were at the bedside when
the end came and watched the patient
man pass to his reward in the hope of
a blessed immortality. His health
had been failing for year. The re-
mains were Immediately taken to
Roslyn, this state, for interment,
where three OF his children lie buried,
and where the family resided before
coming here.
The deceased was born June 16,
1852, in Greene county, New York;
removed to Iowa with his parents at
the age of Is, and in 1873 was mar.
ried to Miss Elizabeth Jackson, sis.
ter of Mrs. o. r.. Haight OF this city.
For a number OF years he vas engaged
in buying wheat for the Red River
Elevator Co, at Beltrana, Mimi,
from which place they emigrated to
Roslyn, where he entered the mercan-
tile business in partnership with G. O..
Swain. He was educated for the min
istry and for four years after leaving
Roslyn he occupied the pulpit OF the
Free Methodist church at COlville,
moving from there to this place q
year ago. In January delicate cpe-
ration was performed at the Sacred
Heart hospital, Spokane, which in all
probability prolonged his life for few
weeks, though the physicians pro-
nounced the case hopeless from the
start. All that loving care and money
could do for his relief were admins
tered with a lavish hand.
OF five children that were born to
them but one remains, Miss Lizzie
Haight, who is one OF the popular
lady clerks in the postofiice, the other
children having died in infancy. He
leaves devoted wife and daughter,
four sisters and two brothers to mourn
