Harry NJ. Heathcock,

son OF Mr. and Mrs. S. S. Heathcock
of Linden, died at the home of his
parents on Monday, Nov. 10, 1905.
He had been sick for about two years.
With his brother, he went to Califor-
MIA in 1904, and also to Arizona, but
neither of them was benefited by the
change. After the death of his broth
err, about year ago he went south,
but with the same results as his west
ern trip. He came home in December
last, and he gradually failed. When
he realized that he could not live but
a few months he desired to be prepared
for the change and before he died he
told his mother that he was assured
that God had received him unto him
self. He said he would like to live
here many years, but If God willed it
otherwise he was willing to go. The
uneral took place on Thursday and
was largely attended. He was a
member )f Achilles lodge, Knights of
PytLias, and many of his brother
knights from Linden and Mineral
Point were present at his burial. The
bereaved family have the sympathy
OF wide circle of friends.
