News that Joshua B. Thomas, of Alba
ny, Mo-, had committed suicide in Kan
sas City. 1t called me back in memory
to that intensely cold winter of 81 and
GO when4 was trying to instruct about
25 boys at old Pleasant Hill church,
near Montpelier, KY. The subject of
this sketch was about 16 years of age
and pupil in that school-very quiet,
and studlous always found strictly on
the line of duty, a favorite of the boys
though seldom engaging in their sports.
During intermissions he would be solv-
ing difficult problems in arithmetic,
and l have never known anyone to
advance so rapidly in mathematics as
ne did. With limited opportunities for
obtaining an education he learned black
smithing from his father who lived near
Dunville KY. When quite young man
he located at Albany, Mo-, and con-
tinued to work at his trade for while,
but was soon elected county clerk.
After holding other county Offices, he
was appointed Chairman Of, the Missouri
State Board of Meditation and Arbitra-
ton by Governor Dockery and reappoint-
ed by Governor Folk. He was a mem
Der of the st. Joseph Asylum Board
under Governor Stone; was Past Grand
Master of the Masonic Fraternity in
Missouri; was President of the Nilsson
ri Banker Association and besides held
several other positions of trust. He
did not forget his old friends and
schoolmates. He wrote me last sum-
mer and requested me to write him the
names of all living in this community.
