JUNGLE CHRIS" CALLED Away
Honorable Career of Beloved Citizen
Terminated by Death.

One of natures noblemen passed
! away at Belle Alliance last sunda,
afternoon, when Christian D, Schmai
grid laid down the burden of eartbl,
| life and embarked upon the :.preatest
adventure" He had been SUFFERING
from heart disease for several months
but was apparently much improved
on Sunday, and, in fact, felt so well
that he went for walk in the ward
of his premises. There he was seized
with sudden attack of the dread
malady which had laid it's clutch IN
on him, and fell to the ground nm
conscious. His devoted wife dis
covered him in this condition a short
while later and he was picked up and
carried into his bedroom, where he
peacefully expired few minutes lat
er without regaining consciousness or
uttering a sound. His death was a
profound shock to the members OF
his family and his multitude Of
friends, and created deep sorrow
wherever he was known.
Mr.. Schmalzrid was native of
Wuertemburg, Germany, aged 80
years, months and IS DAYS. ia
came to this country when a youth,
and for more than fifty wears was en-
ployed as blacksmith on the Belle AL
lance plantation, retiring from that
position about four years ago on ac-
count of advancing age. Of sterl-
ing integrity, kindly and sympathetic,
generous to fault, he listed among
his devoted friends men of all classes
of the community. The good deeds
that stand to his credit, most of them
quietly and modestly performed, and
many Of them unknown to even his
most intimate friends, will serve not
only as standing monument to his
memory among men, but will not go
UNDECIDED by the Recording Angel
when he balances up the score by
which frail mortals are judged before
the bar of the Great Tribunal. He
lied as he had lived, comparatively
poor in worldly goods, but rich in
1obility of character, in the love and
esteem Of his friends, in the admira-
ion and respect which was the tribute
If all who knew him. He held full |
share of love and affection from
hose close to him and the warm
friendship and high regard of every
one who knew him, and those are the
Kings which make life worth living
md constitute the most priceless heri-
age chat may be left to posterity.
The funeral took place Monday af-
ernoon, interment being made in the
Protestant cemetery in Donaldson
lille following services at the Episco-i
,al church A large assemblage of
borrowing relatives and sympathizing
friends accompanied the remains to
heir last resting place, the size and
character of the funeral cortege con-
silent but eloquent tribute
o the veneration in which the de-
eased was held and the degree of
orrow occasioned by his demise.
Besides his venerable wife, Mr..
is survived by five daugh-
ers, namely: Mrs. E. Nitzeroff, of
Mrs. Ferdinand Leblanc
nd Mrs. D. Feray, of Donaldson
lille; and Misses Josephine and Mollie
of Belle Alliance.
Peace to his well-merited and ever
asting sleep in the heavenly home of
is Maker.
