Obituary..

A. L. Follansbee passed away We'd
nesday, February 10th at p M, at
ter an illness dating back one year. 1t
was hoped all through the SIMMER
that the medical aid would restore
him to his usual health. He kept
about whatever business he was call
ed upto to perform till the first of
September when his disease took on
a more serious form and his condi-
ton became such that he could no.
eat any solid food, the local physician
doing all he could to alleviate the
trouble and other physicians were
consulted but of no avail Nov
ember his case became so serio9s that
physicians were called from Burl-
ington and Randolph in consultation
and thorough diagnosis of his case
was made which proved to be of a
very serious nature. All through the
summer he expressed himself manv
times that he felt his disease was
such that he would not be with as
long, he insisted upon knowing what
they considered his case and when
told it was of a serious nature and
no operation would help him. He re-
celved the information with that calm
ana peaceful smile upon his coun-
tenance which was characteristic of
his whole life. He said to his wife the
next morning if there is no chance
for me to live | want to set my house
in order and make everything as easy
as possible for you when / am gone.
He said | am not afraid to go but
feel bad to leave you alone Everyone
that called he greeted with a smile
and conversed on all bright and
pleasant subjects making every one
feel glad they had seen him. Never
a murmer passed his lips. He said
when tears were shed, Don't cry, but
smile. He was a thorough honest
business man honored, respected and
loved by all who knew him. An au-
