Death of Herman Anderson Rollwage.

One of the saddest and most im- preSSiye funerals ever held in this city was that solemniZed here on Sunday when Herman Anderson, third son of MT. and Mrs O. B. Rollwage, of this city, was laid to rest i'll the fami- ly lot in the Forrest City cemetery, surrounded by a large concourse of sorrowing friends.
 The passing of this young man, standing, as he was, upon the thresh- hold of young manhood with every prospect for bright and promising future. was the source Of poignant sor. row in a home where for so many years there has been nothing but hap piness and the fullness of life, comfort and peace.
 Deceased was stricken with fever something over month ago while at work with his brother in Muskogee, Oklahoma. Just as soon as the news of his illness reached this city, the de- voted mother hurried to his side, aud by her he was attended to the family home in this city, where he was uursed lovingly and tenderly until the silent messenger came to still his voice and close his lips to those who cherished and loved and held his life as among their dearest and most priceless of earthly possessions.
 The face Of deceased's mot her as she sat through the funeral service was study that will not soon be for gotton. It seemed that the imprint which this bitter trial had left upon her noble features, was glorihed and made beautiful through the fortitude and steadfastness ot tue Christian faith which sustained her, calm and unperturbed through 1t ali.
 The hearts of all whD saw the strlck- ell mother were touched. and many, perhaps, who were there through curi- asity, remained 10 weep.
 The funeral services were conduct ed by Rev George H. kirker and most pathetic song service was given by the Presbyterian choir.
