LAKELAND MANS FATHER
PASSED AWAY AT OCALA

From the Oeala Star We take the
following additional information in
regard to the life of Mr.. w. l.. Jew
EFT. whose death occurred at that
place Wednesday:
Mr.. Jewett was born in Wrights-
Vile, n. c., in 1S47, and was there
fore in his sixty-fifth year. He came
to this city abou. twenty-four years
ago. and from that time up to short
while ago made a quiet but intrinsic
factor in its business life. AS skill
ed accountant, he filled several re-
sp0nsible positions, and always we'll,
his proficiency in that line not being
second to any. He was clerk of Ocala
for some years, but his services gen
orally demanded a higher remunera-
ton than the city was able to pay.
For number OF years he rendered
he public great and gratuitOus serv-
ice in keeping its meteorological
records. and the first thing the news
papers did every exceptionally cold
morning was to phone to Mr.. jew
EFT to inquire how low the mercury
had fallen at daylight.
A few years ago. declining health
compelled him to retire from bust

eldest son. Stephen. and daughter,
