Dreathed his last but lew moments
before his sister reached his bedside.
The news OF his death came as a
shock to the people OF Audubon. But
a few knew OF his illness. His ply
steal condition was such that when
the ravages OF the disease took hold
OF him, he had no vitality to ward
OFF the attack. He was kind heart
ed man and numbered his friends
by the score.
While he had his faults, no one
knew his innermost thoughts. He
was big hearted and always gave a
helping hand to those who needed
help, yet how deep would be the sor-
row over the grave, did not the RAIN
bow of Christian hope span the dark
gulf between time and eternity.
