radius of ten miles of this place.
Few men had more friends
than this aged veteaan. He was
j highly esteemed as a christian
gentleman and an honorable up

Zone which young men might be
proud to copy. He did not en-

tended to his own affairs.

valiantly for the lost cause.
He had been a prominent mem
Der of the Missionary Baptist

long as he had health and stren-
ght his place was never vacant.
The last few years have been
crowned with sadness yet he bore
IT. all with christian fortitude.
His home was broken up nine
wears ago when the "black cam
