the host Of friends sang a gospel
hymn 1t was lowered into the grave.
Christian G. Engle was born Aug
ust 10, 1894, and died November

his death was caused by strangula-
ton from a gathering In his throat;
but since there was no struggling
in death, the physicians pronounced
the ailment as a poisonous infection
of the blood due to the absorption
into the circulation Of morbid or
putrid matter usually originating in
a wound or local inflammation.
Christian led a true and sincere
Christian life and was an active
worker in his church. He was a
freshman at the Abilene high school
at the time of his death where he
was a diligent student. He was al
