In the death of DIR. Cyrus Me-

children who survive him, have
lost wise and an affectionate

loyal, true and devoted son. His
sisters and brother, who survive
him. have lost brother whom
they Justly admired as man of
distinction in his profession. but
counted more the affectionate rela-
tionS that always existed between
them.
The medical profession has lost
an ornament, which will be at least
one Of the monuments which he
had builded for himself. His large
circle of friends have lost n kind.
warm hearted, generous, noble
man. The community will miss
him, because he was not only de-
Servedly popular, but was regard
ed rs one of the ablest men in his
profession. 4 man of whom it is
told had, in certain branches of
his profession, never lost a case,
which l. sufficient evidence of the
skill he possessed. The high re-
gard had for him in this county is
better atteSted by the uniform
loyalty and devotion of his patients
TO him than 10y any words that can
be used to portray the professional
as we'll rs the private life. of the
man who will be missed by every
body. whether they be relations or
personal friends.
His cordial grasp of the hand,
his familiar slap on the shoulder
and his atfectionate greeting of all
whom he knew in life, furnish the
evidence of the warmth of soul,
heart and affection very much bet
ter than it can be told in cold type.
There are not many people of
whom 1t can be said that they have
lett behind them a record as inn
perIShable as the rocks of the
earth. He wore his life out in his
devotion to his profession, his love
to ms friends and his affection for
his family. There was possibly
no physician who had ever lived in
tins community who led as hard,
arduous and laborious a life as he.
We have heard it said of him that
he never failed to call upon the
sick when they needed his services,
no matter whether they were able
To pay or not. His reward is not
merely the high esteem and CRATE
iul regard that people have for
MN In the community in which he
lived and which he served so faith
tully, but it will be in the great
hereafter, because it is not believed
that a man of his type can 90 I'M
rewarded in the great hereafter.
