seventy years of age, and her death

brave and gallant husband, who some
46 years before, upon the bloody field
of "Cloyd's Farm" had poured out his
young life in the cause both loved so
well. To us it was a sad coincidence,
but we doubt not absorbingly comfort
ing to her, that, after long separation,
with sacredly cherished memories, she
could set out, at last, to hunt her loved.

minister of Washington county, became
mentally dersnged on last Friday even

rick at his home near Bristol. from
which he jumped, receiving injuries
that resulted in his death few hours
later. For several days Rev. Leonard
