The people here (Covington) have beer
exceedingly kind to us. Between 3 and Q p

called and offered sympathy and aid, al
speaking of him admiringly as a constant
consistent Christian in conversation anC
conduct This has been great consolation
to us.
He often talked OF his life in Frostburs
and frequently expressed regret that he LEFT
there
He was not afraid to die, but as late a:
Saturday evening, last, he said he hOpeC
death would not come to HIM in his loneli
ness at night. We are so thankful that his
hope was realized, and that he died sc
easily.
After taking his seat on the porch he read
couple of newspapers, and when w
reached him found them to be the Cumber
land NewS and JOURNAL. and the latter, still
in his hands, was the last paper he evel
read.
