there until 1861, when he enlisted in
the Union army serving in Co l 10th

discharged after Lee surrendered at

in the calf of his left leg four weeks
ago last Sunday and he was confined
to his bed to the end.
The relatives and friends did all In
their power to relieve his suffering
and make his last few weeks as easy
for him as possible, for all realized
that end was drawing near. A week
ago last Monday morning an artery
burst in his temple which rendered
him semi-cOnSciouS. The cause of the
