A Life Well Lived

The circumstances surrounding
Henry Demos death seem unusually
tragic He had made brave fight
since the loss Of his hand, some years
ago, and in this merited and received
sympathy and encouragement OF the
entire community. He was not a
self-seeking man. He was generous
in granting to others the opportunity
to be first, and well content to serve
usefully in any position, however
humble Those who were associated
with him in any capacity, from his
boyhood up, will remember him as a
loyal friend His judgment in bust
ness affairs was excellent. He was
courageous In following out any pol
icy when once he was convinced 1t
was right. The town. in the death OF
Henry Demo, has lost good official
and a good citizen.
