CHAPTER xxI.-(contInued.)

Although Erik announced to me
very solemnly that he had changed
and that he had become the most vir-
tuous of men since he was loved for
himself-a sentence that, at first, per-
picked me most terribly could not
help shuddering when thought OF the
monster His horrible. unparalleled
and repulsive ugliness put him with
out the pale OF humanity; and 1t often
seemed to me that. for this reason,
he no longer believed that he had any
duty toward the human race. The
way in which he spoke OF his love-
affairs only increased my alarm, for

Obituary..

William ]. Redkey, son of John L.
and Rebeccs Redkey, was born near
Rainsboro, Ohio, June IL, 1S45. His
mother died while he was youth and
the care of the home In a great meas
ure rested ON him. he being the eldest
Of the children. Nobly he rose to the
occasion and with illal affection and
brotherly kindness he met the respon-
sibilities of house keeper and home
keeper and grew to manhood with a
love for home and desire to accumu-
late and provide for those about him.
On Dec. 5, 1871 he was united in
marriage to Miss Nancy G. Cameron,
of Cynthiana, Ohio. To this union
were born six children, Chri tian L.,
Emma L., John VIM, Fred D., Esther
R and Joseph A., two of whom have
preceded him to the Heavenly home
His genial spirit, honesty of purpose.
kindness of manner, love OF sport.
hearty comradeship made him in
childhood boon companion among
schoo mates and neighboring boys.
These traits, transferred to the home.
made him a loving husband, kind
and helpful father
In the spring of 1871 after short
apprenticeship as clerk with the Dewitt
Bros he opened grocery store in the
old Mackerley building. From thence
he moved to a small frame building
that stood on the corner where Cam
erons Hardware Store now stands.
Dry goods and general merchandise
we're added to the grocery stock and
this building soon became too small
for the growing trade and the brick
building now occupied by Cameron &
Cameron was built and enlarged as
increasing trade demanded and here
he continued in his chosen life work
until 81 years were spent in business.
His early training in industry, thrift |
an economy was manifested in this /
his chosen work. These coupled with |
strict onesty and an obliging mann,r
friendly and public spirit placed him
in the front as business man and !
prominent citizen Of the community.
He joined the M e. church when a |
school boy and later transferred his
membership to the U. B. Church under
the pastorate of Rev. Price in the
year 1878
Sometime ago realizing that The
strain of business life was too great, |
he retired and began to devote himself
to the interests of the farm and home. |
For awhile the health of himself and |
wife has been such that it was deemed
best to spend their time with the
children and while in the home Of the
daughter, Mrs. Esther Hope, the sum-
mons came and suddenly about nine
o'clock Monday. Dec. %, 1912, after a
long and honorable career he ceased |
to be and passed from time to eternity

70, of Bolchow, Mo-, sister, Mrs. Louisa
Baker, of Hillsboro, half brother and
sister, Dempsey Redkey and Mrs. Ada
Mason, besides host of other relatives
and life long friends.
The funeral was held from the M.
e. Church at 10 O'Clock on Xmas day,
conducted by Rev. j. Ii Davis and the
remains were laid to rest by the side
of his children In the beautiful ceme-
terry at Cynthiana.

him no braver man ever shouldered a

death would have resulted but for the

bullet cutting through every leaf,
lodging in the cover bit the force of
the bullet knocked him down leaving
