Death OF Mr.. Michael Grow.

Mr.. Michael Crow. one of the
5est-known citizens of Berryville.
died at his home on Church street
last Thursday night at 10 O'Clock.
following a stroke of paralysis a
few weeks ago.
The funeral was held from the
Baptist Church Saturday afternoon
at 3 O'Clock, Rev. Julian Broaddus,
d. D., officiating, and interment
was made in Green Hill Cemetery.
Mr.. Crow was born in Fayctte
county, Pa, September Is, 1880,
and had just passed his seventy
seventh year.
He responded to the call for
troops in 1861, and served i'm the
Federal army with honor and dis
tinction, and received wounds in
action for which he was pensioned.
He removed to Clarke county in
March, 1876, and engaged in farm
ing, and in the following year was
married to Mrs. Susan Bushong.
of Clarke county. At the time of
his coming to Virginia, sectional
feeling ran high on account of the
incidents of the reconstruction
period, but Mr.. Crow won the
universal esteem and respect of all
the local citizens by his honesty.
integrity and impartiality in his
personal and business life.
= few years ago he gave NJ
farming, rented his farm, and
moved to BerryvilIe, where he
resided continuously thereafter.
He had been q member of the
Baptist Church for number oi
years, was faithful in all duties as
a church member, and was alway
ready to perform any service
required of him. Unless prevent.
ed by unsurmountable obstacles
he was always present at the church
services, in which he took great
interest.
As an honest, upright, unassum-
ing citizen and man, he will bC
sadly missed from the community
as a loving relative and friend. nC
one can fill the vacancy caused bS
his death.
He is survived by one son. DR..
Harry NJ. Crow, and two daugh.
ters, Misses Carrie and Susie Grow
all of Berryville; three sisters, Mrs
Vincent Parshall, of Bcrryville
Mrs. Mary A. Finley, of Illinois
Mrs. McWilliams, of Uniontown,

of the judges OF election; that free
lunches were served to the Judges
and an open invitation was given
to everyone to partake of it.
The complaint and grounds of
contest make mp a very serious
looking document, but it appears
to be the consensus Of opinion that
the grounds of contest are technical
ones.
The name of Jos. X. Hardesty
appears as one of the contestants,
as well as being cited as one of the
canvassers who acted without
authority of law. Mr.. Hardesty
was one of-the judges atthe Berry
vile precinct.
After the papers in the case had
been filed with the. Court Clerk,
one OF the complainants, Chas. w.
Marks, asked To have his name re-
moved from the list of signers of
same, saying, in a communication
addressed To Judge Thomas w.
Harrison, that he had signed the
papers without previous fore
thought, and find same against the
dictates of my conscience.
1t is presumed that Judge Har-
rison will permit the withdrawal of
the name.
OF course those who have singed
the bill as complainants become
parties to the suit and will have
their proportion of the cost assessed
against them in the event that their
contention is not sustained.
Underthe law governing election
contests, the case will come up for
hearing at the next term of Circuit
Court, which meets on Monday,
November 20.
The complainants are represent
ed by Attorneys Marshall McCor-
mick and Conrad Kownslar.
The legal notice of the contest
appears in another column.
