came. The skill of the best
physicians was made use of-the
loving hands of wife, brother,
sister and aunt attended to every
need-friends by the score asked
for the privilege of rendering any

life's harp continued to break un-
I'll not one remained.
Fred was a manly fellow, genial,
magnanimous, kind, square in
business, gentleman always.
His heart was big and tender, and
smallness was foreign to his nature.
He was patient sufferer, few
moments during the last month
were free from pain-yet no COM
plant was heard, and the smallest
service received an appreciative
smile. His last hours were peaceful
ones. With smile upon his lips
he fell asleep and the weary spirit
was at rest.
There is land where beauty cannot
Nor sorrow dim the eye;
Where true love shall not droop nor be
dismayed
And none shall ever die"
