the town of Glover loses another OF
the fine old men who were among
the pioneer citizens of that place ana
who have done their part to make OF

Gwin was born in the McConnellsVille
section little more than seventy-iire
years ago. He married Miss Brison
Of Glover, in 1874. moved to Glover in
1877, became postmaster in 1878, ana
continued in that position up to a few
years ago, when he was compelled 10
give il up by reason of his advancing
years. He became superintendent OF
the Presbyterian Sunday school at
clover away back with its organizl-
ton in the early days OF the village
and continued in the position up to
the time Of his death. He was of a
genial, happy disposition. with n
friendly word for everybody, especi-
ally all the children. and the circle
Of his friendly acquaintanceship ex-
tended to all the country around. He
and his wife were most devoted
pair, and when his wife died he be-
gan to lose interest in his further stay
on earth There was no change in
his attitude or conduct toward his
friends and acquaintances; but he
seemed to realize that his work was
done, and rather than otherwise he
was entirely reconciled to the situa-
tiun. He had been in bad health for
some months and during last week
he confidentially told his friends that
he would pass on Sunday, and in a
way his Judgment proved correct, for
he became unconscious on that day
and continued unconscious TO the end.
The people Of Glover and of all the
country surrounding will join in this:
He did his part as we'll AZ he could
and that was better than most OF us.
Peace to his ashes."
