was one of the most brilliant young
men in Kentucky. Married to one
of the most beautiful women in Ken
lucky, occupying a position of high
social and professional standing,
Superintendent of the Hopkinsville
City Schools, Superintendent of the
Sunday School of the First Baptist
Church, president of the Atheneaum
Society, Hopkinsville's most exclu-
sive literary organization, he SEEM
ingly had much to live for and every
thing to encourage him to a career
of honor and usefulness. The tale
of his downfall is pitiable one. His
friends know too well the story of his
RS4akness. His faults are buried with /
him in a premature grave. Peace to
his ashes!
