they were not generally known and
certainly rarely if ever visited him,
and it is difficult to recall that he ever
visited them.
1t may be said that Mr.. McCarty
had his faults, but it can as truthfully
be said that he had his good qualities.
He was not ambitious to become a
leader and to control the destinies of
people; he was content to live quiet
life, free from ostentation and show,
and he maintained an individuality so
distinct and separate from others that
it will be many years before he will be
forgotten.
Mr.. McCarty for several years main
tanned membership in the Baptist
church in this city. A short time ago
he began to show symptoms of failing
health and gradually grew worse until
his death occurred, not as result of
any particular disease, but more on
account of old age.
The body was taken from the Sal
ONION undertaking rooms at 1O:30 this
morning and laid to rest in Oakland
cemetery beside his wife.
