well known residents of this section-a fine
type of country doctor, whose life was de-
voted to the self-sacrifcing hardships of rough
roads and sleepless nights, often with no other
recompense than the blessings of those to whom
he had brought relief and comfort. The de-
ceased was not only skilled physician, but
of public spirit and withal kindly and
