Death Claims a Prominent Citizen.

Death Claims a Prominent Citizen.
Edward Logan, second son of Joseph
Edward and Sue Conway Logan, was
born in New Orleans, July ii, 1870, and
died at six O'Clock last Friday morning
at his home in this place, his death being
directly due to apoplexy and Bright's
disease.
Formerly the deceased was fine type
physically, standing more than six feet
in his stocking feet, and was the picture
of health. His decline dated from the
date of his accident, which was Septem-
teber IA, 1910. Returning home in
single buggy from the river front his
horse became frightened and ran. When
she quit the road he saw that the buggy
was to soon strike tree, so jumped. He
suffered injuries from this more serious
than would have been expected. Both
ankles were much injured and his right
so badly that later it became necessary
to amputate that limb. He suffered
much pain and discomfort from this and
underwent several operations. Being all
his life accustomed to an active, out
door life his enforced confinement work.
ed hardships on him and finally wrecked
his health.
That the deceased was we'll liked by all
can be safely said. He was indeed we'll
met-possessing an affable and genial
disposition, he knew that happy faculty
of making all visitors at his home feel
wholly at ease. And that is not all. AS
neighbor he practiced charity in it's
truest sense, as a friend he was stead
fast, and as man of the world a good
Samaritan at all times. That he will be
keenly missed by his circle of friends is
evident. They will miss his friendly
greeting, his manly handclasp, his words
of good cheer and his presence-wel-
coined everywhere.
AS we sum up the commendable traits
of the deceased much recurs that might
be fitringly written here. But let it
suffice to say that he was the same on all
occasions and everywhere. In his home
life he was all that might be desired OF
the head of the family-a loving hus-
band, kindly and indulgent father, and
true friend to all visitors who crossed his
threshold. His unbounded and unstint-
ed hospitality within his home was well
known.
The death of Mr.. Logan, just fairly in
the prime Of life, seems particularly un-
timely, and the hearts of many friends
of long standing are sorely grieved. No,
alone do they feel their own loss, but a
sense of deep compassion is felt for those
dear ones who are left within his home,
and others. While their grief is heart
rending and their loss irreparable, they
should find some degree of comfort in
the thought that in life they shared his
undivided love and as death approached
his thoughts were most of them. "God
moves in a mysterious way" dear friends
but His wisdom is far-seeing and His
mercy far-reaching. Your hearts will
yet be comforted, and in that happy re-
union of the future you will realize thai
all is well-that all here to-day was fol
| the best.
On October 81, 1896, Mr.. Logan was
united inmarriage to Mary Morris Adger
daughter of Joseph Ellison and Matte

born to bless their union were Adger E..
