the cause of the Southland. After the
close of the war, his wife, a Miss Chewn-

an interval of time he and Miss Tobias
were married. Together they shared
life's joys and sorrows for nearly thirty

years. and was truly blessed with health
and strength until four years ago he en-
dured long serious illness. his life was
despaired of for time but the Master
