deep where his luggage was, opened

historic fife. This fife he has today.
Its historic value is conferred in the
fact that it was played upon at the
Battle of the Boyne' in 1890. Mr..
Mccormick was faithful employee in
the drug firm of Wilkinson and Bart
lett of early days. During the long
years of our civil war he was con
stantly in demand to lead the martial
music for recruiting soldiers and
others assembling here. AS long as
political campaigns had marching
clubs to make an exhibition of their
enthusiasm, his fife could be heard
| leading them in their street parades.
A few years ago he retired from ac-
i tive labors and is now enjoying life
with his children and among his
grandchildren and his great grand
children. The latter are q great
solace to his life. May he live many
