ials than "Uncle John," the children's
favorite
At the cemetery after brief service
by the Pastor, Rev. R. McCaslin, the
Masonic fraternity conducted the clos
ing ceremony, by following the beauti-
full burial service of the order of which
deceased was conscientious member.
This closed the earthly testimonial to

full friend, yet his memory will long
remain in the minds and hearts of our

one is happy and free from suffering;
they know that while he walked in the
humble ways of life he occupied
q warm spot in the hearts of the peo-
pie and was honored in a manner be-
fitting the proudest peer of the land.
The PRESS extends its heartfelt sym-
pathy to the bereaved family.
John j. Hinkle is dead, though he
still lives.
