the ten men who organized the By
stander Publishing Co., and was presl-
dent at the time Of his death. He was

woman and child who believed in living
the best life.
Besides his wife and two brothers,

he will leave host of friends all over
the state who will regret his taking

good man has gone to the great beyond
