al years, having suffered something
in the nature Of q paralytic stroke.
which greatly weakened him, and since
that time he had been almost helpless
at times. The immediate cause of
his death. as we understand. was an
attack of pneumonia, which he suffered
soon after going tn Missouri.
Jess, as he was Familiarity called,

the last few years, as any other char
