good christian character. industrious
and popular with whom he was thrown.
He was eighteen years old at the time
of his death. and while it is hard to
see young man taken in the prime of
his life yet We know his loved ones loss
is his eternal gain.

and Mrs. II. C. Pollard. together with
five sisters and two brothers to whom
deep and sincere sympathy goes out in
this hour of trial. His sisters are;
Mrs. j. ID. Hatcher and Mrs. Lon

ers are Messrs Frank and Jim Pollard
