looking on the, bright side of every
thing, he was a generous favorite of
all.
But he is gone He is no more with

our friend and brother Henry Cavnah
Rising as he dfd from the position of
bookkeeper, to the presidency of one
of the largest manufactures of ayri-
cultural implements in the world, he
was a notable example of a self-mfatie
man. Simple and unostentatious, kind
and untiring,. careful yet progressive,
he was most highly esteemed by all.

that with this ssman, we have left moth

Cavnah, cotild pronounce no greater
eulogy than to say that l never heard
any one speak any thing but good
about him. Occupying the place among
his fellow townsmen he did, he COM
manded and enjoyed the respect of all
who knew him. When we look for his
shortcomings, we are most forcibly re-

MR.. TAYLER'S ADDRESS. =,
After a selection by the Grand Army
band, the Hon. r. w. Tayler. Of
Youngstown, delivered an address. He
came forward without the formality of
an introduction. Indeed, he needed
none to Canton audience. His theme
was the immortality of the soul, or OF
man. The address was mastery one,
the speaker arguing that the soul of
man must live after death, as 1t was
the greatest and most valuable thing
In the universe. He took the sub
ject up independent of the revelations
OF Gods work, referring to them only
incidentally.
