Death Of 4 Mexican War veteran.

Col. George Alexander Porterfield,
the last surviving veteran OF the Mex
lean War in West Virginia, and the
oldest alumnus of the Virginia Military
Institute, died at his home in Charles
Town Thursday morning, February n,
says the Advocate. Debility due to ex-
IRENE old age caused gradual decline
in his physical powers, making his
death reasonable expectation at any
time within the past two or three years.
Col. Porterheld was born in Berkeley
county, Virginia, now West Virginia.
November "a. 1922. On the oath OF
last November he celebrated his Goth
birthday. The Mexican War coming
within few years after his gradua-
ton from the Virginia Military Instii
tute, he in association with Capt. Cor
rington organized a company of infan-
try in Richmond. He was made adju,
tant Of the regiment upon the compile
ton OF its organization. Later in the
war he served as assistant adjutant
under General Wood. In the Civil War
he served with the Confederate army,
undergoing many hardships and perils
in many campaigns.
The war over, Col. Porterfield be-
came a farmer, residing for some years
near Leetown. In 1871 he with others,
organized the Bank Of Charles Town.
He became its first cashier, and contin7
ued in that position until he was Is
years old, keenly alive to the banks in
terests at an age when most men are in
retirement Holding a membership in
the Aztec Club, composed of veterans
of the Mexican War in Washington, he
found much pleasure in attending its
meetings in his old age, mingling with
the men who were with him in the in
vasion of Mexico in 1847-48. His death
leaves only two members Of that club
surviving.
Col. Porterfeld is survived by two
sons, Mr.. John Porterfield, present
cashier of the Bank of Charles Town,
and Mr.. Charles Porterfeld, editor in
the Thompson Law Book Publishing
Company at Northport,. Long Island,
New York; and two daughters, Ms.
w. Chase Morton, of Richmond, Va.
and Mrs. George Washington of Charles
Town. The funeral was held on Friday
with short service at Col. Porterfield's
home. The body was taken to Martins
burg for interment

In MemOriam.

Inscribed to the memory Of John W..
Riley, who departed this life October g.,
1918. We find our own poor words in
sufficient to express our grief at our
bereavement. A loving husband, a So
licitous father and a faithful friend has
been taken from us, but his memory
shall live as long as any OF US survive.
and we exist in tie hope Of meeting him
on that further shore, where there shall
be no more parting.
1t is not the tear at this moment shed,
When the cold tlTf has just been laid DER
him,
That can tell how BELOVED was the friend
that's fed,
Or how deep in our hearts we deplore him.
'Tis the tear through many long day wept,
IT'S life's whole path o'ershaded;
IT'S the orc remembrance fondly kept,
When all lighter griefs have faded.
Thus his memory, like some holy light,
Kept alire In our hearts will improve them,
For worth shall look fairer, and truth more
bright,
When We think how he lived but to love
them.
And. as fresher flowers the sod perfume
Where buried saints are lying.
So our hearts shall borrow a sveet'ning
From the image he left here. in dying.
