time he buried parents, sisters and other
relatives, and where he suffered much
from Ill health, his home being for years
the scene of much affection and sorrow.
Through all his sickness Mr. Doe has
been patient, never being heard TO muir
muir or complain, and those who knew
him most realized his sterling worth and
loneliness of character, and also most
deplore his early death. The funeral
was held on Monday and was attended
by his only brother, Charles Doe of Bos-
ton, with other relatives and friends
from distance.
The A. o. u. w of which society he
was member, was represented by mem
