One of our good citizens was re-
moved by death from US last We'd
nesday evening-Mr Richard Gould.
His health had been declining for
several years, but he had been able to
be up most of the time, and had gone
to West Point for treatment only a
few days before, at which place he
died. His death was a great surprise
to the community. While we all be-
lieved his trouble was serious, no one
was expecting his departure SO soon.
He leaves an only son and daughter
Mr.. Lawrence Gould and Miss Willie
Gould. A good citizen, a good neigh
Der, a loving father, a. good provider,
a high-toned gentleman, is gone to be
with us no more. His children have
the sympathy of the entire commun-
ity. Mr.. Gould was a native of Can
ada, coming here many years ago as
a single man, but afterward married
a Miss Lawrence, sister of the late
DR.. w. c. Lawrence. She preceded
him to the good world many years
ago. He also had a grown daughter
to precede him to the grave. May
the whole family meet in the sweet
by and by
