about two miles northeast of Olga,where
he has resided with his son, Napoleon,
for several years past, The deceased
had been ailing for over a year,gradually
getting weaker, and although everything
possible was done TO prolong a life which
had already exceeded the allotted span
of human existence, it YVES of no avail.
His last moments we're spent with those
members of his family who resided near
enough to reach his bedside in time
and with this and the consolation
afforded by his religion he passed to the
= Great Beyond. He leaves to our his
