Ezra Collins Tual.

Following is the brief but inter-
esting sketch furnished me of one
whom l have personally known
for almost fifty years. OF unus-
ual attainment and knowledge of
the world, he was withal unassum-
ing, though of positive tempera-
ment. Just he was to all men,
and the Golden Rule never had a
more consistent follower. The
things that came to his hand to
do, he did with honesty and sin
certify, and, happily blest with a
helpmeet devoted to him and the
duties of the home, his life-work
was such that we'll may we hold
that "Well done, thou good and
faithful servant" has greeted his
entrance into the Great Unknown.
MI. Tual was one of the few re-
naming links that tie my life to
the Arcadia Valley of old. One by
one have the spirits hat then
formed my world taken their final
parting, but my memory bridges
the overwhelming gulf not alto
gether in sorrow. The old friends
and the old pleasures are often re-
newed in retrospection until they
seem but as of yesterday, to re-
turn again tomorrow. New ties,
new hopes, new trials, do not eff
face them. They remain as part
of this life, welded to the soul, and
can be sundered from it only with
it's dissolution. Honor to the
memories of my sleeping comrades
and peace to their ashes!
Ezra Collins Tual was born in
Medford, Burlington county, N.
j., February 20, 1929, and died in
Arcadia, Mo-, July %, 1908, aged
10 years, 5 months and 3 days.
He was the son of Samuel and
Elizabeth Tual, and the eldest of
nine children. His parents wer G
of French and German descent.
His grandfather was in the Revo-
lutionary war, and the father serv-
ed in the wal of 1912. AT the age
of 16 he began to learn his trade,
and served four years apprentices
ship. He followed his trade in
New Jersey until 1858, and ther
went to Australia, where he was
engaged in mining and black
smithing. Thence he travelled to
South Africa, South America and
India. From Callao, Peru, he
crossed the Andes into the head
waters of the Amazon river anC

returned to Callao and Lima,
where The did considerable work
for the Spanish Government.
From Callao he sailed to Colon,
Central America, and crossed the
isthmus of Panama to Aspinwall.
Whence he sailed to Havana, Gu
ba, and then to New York City,
in 1858. The same year he came
West, stopping in Decatur, Illi-
nois, two years. Then to Arcadia,

his home, with the exception of
four years which he spent in Mon

smithing. He has been a citizen

Ii Mr.. Tnal had been in poor health
some time. and for six months
was a great sufferer, but he n
dured his affliction very patiently,
never complaining. He was not a
member of any church though
reared a acknowledgements and
grandparents being of that faith.
He lived a Christian life and did
not fear to die. For several years
he had been a great Bible reader,

and the New Testament fifteen
times.

New Haven nine causing their many defeats. Yesterday he decided to do away with the services of McAloon and former Capt Eddie Havel of the locals, having secured Fogue and Murray to replace them. McAloon did backstop work in the Canadian league, but was too weak with the willow to make good In the Connecticut league.
 Havel, who had charge of the nine has been playing shortstop but has been putting up miserable exhibition in his late games. He was to be canned previously, but was retained on ac- count of the inability of Bone to secure a player to replace him When asked last night who would replace Havel as captain of the nine, George Bone said that he would be unable to decide be- fore the double header at New Britain today when Joe Soup Carrick and Murray will form the batteries.
