AS l promised to give a brief
sketch of my life, sometime, ]
] will do so now; but l will be as
brief as possible, so 1 will not
weary the readers. / was born on
a farm in log hut near McArth-
ur, Vinton County, Ohio, Easter
Sunday morning, March 80, 1872.
My father died and left me with
younger brothers and a little help
less sister and mother to battle
with the ups and downs of life.
My chief occupation was farming
until Is years ago; since that
time it has been mining. While
on the farm I did almost every
thing with the exception of steal
ing sheep and starving to death.
In politics, / have always voted
under the rooster, but always re-
served he right to scratch when /
thought beIt. / used to chew and
smoke, but learned to quit. New
er cut deck Of carde in my life,
and never took an Intoxicating
drink. Never told lie unless !
was by myself or with some one.
On December 28, 1887, j confessed
my faith in Christ and on Dec. 30.
same year, / was buried with
Christ by baptism, and have,
since al time, endeavored
through my weakness to live an
honor to my profession. AS the
old saying goes "self praise is
half scandal / will give way to
some ADLER writer and hope every
writer to the Ono DEMooR..T will
give q short sketch of their life.
