at Hutchison, Kansas. After six
months, he was able to be up and
around for about five months but from
that time on he was confined to his bed
and carriage. During this whole per-
iod of year and five months, he has
been under the care of doctors. All
that medical skill, good nursing. hospi-
tai treatment and loving hands could
do has been done. The long vigils of
loving self sacrificing parents, nurses

His character for honesty, temper

His life was one of bitter struggle
against trouble and disease, yet through
it all he has maintained patient en-
durance and cheerfulness, always say
ing he had much to be thankful for and
no cause to complain. An almost total
blindness of over 30 years duration
caused him to be more or less depend
