MEMORIAL TRIBUTE.-FREDERIC S.
SHELTON.

SHELTON.
Turning over, to-day: the leaves of
memory we 60 back to the bright
years of our childhood and youth in
dear old Booths Hill. Those years
and scenes are now in the far distant
past 1t is the 'rlong, long ago. -
Among the loved and dear ones of our
earlier life was the valued and choice
friend whose precious name stands at
the head of this obituary notice. His
pleasant cheerful home, in those far
away years, was next to ours. With
him we Joined in the sports and plays
of our childhood days; and also in the
joys, pleasures and studies in the little
brown schOolhouse, associatedswith us
in so many pleasant memories and
fond recollectiOns! ''Fred' was a
good boy, pleasant, happy compan-
ion, in those youthful and sunny days.
The grand and noble character of his
royal mother impressed itself sweetly
and beautifully upon his young heart
and life. Golden was the bright chain
that bound us together in loving ties.
But the time came for separa ton. He
went his way as Grue and noble
young man to be an honor to himself,
his parents and friends. He conse-
Grated himself to the service of the
dear Saviour and right truly and loyal
ly did he follow his Master down to
the very close of his blessed Christian
life. For more than 30 years he was a
faithful Sunday school superintendent
and an active, earnest worker in the
vineyard of the Lord. He was true,
clean man, not spot nor mark upon
him. He lived to do good The chill
dren and everybody else who knew him
loved him. He was a man of God, a
pillar in Zion. His pastor knew where
to find him every time; and well did
some of them at his funeral bear heart
felt testimony to his noble Christian
character and we felt as life long
friend of the departed to endorse every
word that was uttered on that occa-
sion. We write these words from the
depths of our heart dis personal trib-
ute to our dear old schoolmate, friend
and brother, Frederick S. Shelton.
Gone, but not lost, over on the Golden
Shore with the loved and dear ones
there. In the home on high he sings
the new, new song. Soon We'll meet
him in the "sweet bye and bye" in
Canaan's fair and happy land to part
no more forever.-[R Rev G. N. Nichols,
AndOVer.
FUNERAL OF +. S. SHELTON.
The funeral of F. S. Shelton was
very largely attended, last Saturday
afternoon. The Methodist church
was filled with friends and relatives
who came to pay their last respects to
one who had been SO dear to them ALL
Prayer was offered at the house at
