Though but boy in years, he gave evidence
of a sturdy, manly character, which made him
the companion of men, and leader in the
community. His bright and pleasing person.
ality procured for him friends wherever he
went. Truly can it be said of him
"None knew him but to love him,
None named him but to praise"
He was general favorite among his CON-

From his earliest years he took deep in
terest in his books, and was leader among
the boys and girls at the Woodbine school,
which he attended and proved a most admira.
BILE pupil during my entire term of nine years
as teacher there.
As he passed the successive stages in life,
he was observed to possess a growing inclina
ton to do his whole duty in what ever station
he filled.
The entire neighborhood is grieved, and
mourn the loss of this most promising youth
Our sympathies 60 out to the heart-stricken
parents, and devoted brothers and sisters.
