He was the only son of Mr.. and Mrs.

Harry Lovett. This young man had
an attack of malaria fever in June

He was bright student, graduating
from the 9th grade and entered high
school three years ago. During his
short sojourn here among Us he had
won the love and respect of everyone.
He was constantly confined to his bed
for about four weeks before his death,
and such sweet patience and fortitude,
and calm resignation to Gods will is
rarely seen in one so young. To his
parents he left the precious assurance
that he was going home, while he had
a natural desire to live almost his last
words were Goods Will Be Done, he
said he knew the golden gates would
open to let him in, and that Jesus
would be waiting to welcome him there.
He was singularly appreciative ofwhat
was being done for him. even while
dying he thanked the writer for a
trifling service rendered. He was con-
scous to the last. recognizing his par
ents and whispering few last requests.
The parents and sister have the SYM
pathy of their many friends in their
sorrow. Funeral services were held
Tuesday afternoon at o'clock, by Rev
MacLean at the Boston school house in
the presence of large number of SYM
pathizing friends. Burial in the Bos-
