sympathy.
JAMES F. VERTS, one OF Saline's
old and substantial farmers, died
at his home north of Nelson on
Feb. 10th, of congestion of the
brain, aged 56 years.
Mr.. Verts was good man, very
religious, and always friendly and
cordial. He had a nice home on
his farm and the editor had a pleas
ant visit at his home several
months ago. He told us that,
he was feeling better then, but had
suffered considerably the past year
or so being at the point of death
at times. He claimed, and thor
oughly believed, that he had been
permitted TO go to heaven dur
ing one of his very sick spells and
described his stay there in every
detail, believing that his soul had
left its earthly home and return
ed to the body. We will not say
whether he was right or wrong in
his idea, but his illness would ex-
plain his reason for his belief. He
wa sone Of the largest men in the
county weighing about $50 pounds.
He is survived by his wife and
son, as we'll as five brothers and
four sisters most of them residing
in and near Nelson.
Mr.. Verts was prepared for the
call to the next world if ever any
one was and his life ought to be
and no doubt was, an inspiration
to those who knew him well.
His funeral was conducted at the
Methodist church Saturday follow
ing his death by Rev. c. @. Shouse
and attended very largely.
