sad, he being such an elderly man,
nearly So years OF age, ana seldom
leaving his home.

his lower limbs and his family hoping
to make him more comfortable, ar
ranged for hospital treatment, and
ne was accompanied by Mr.. Wilbur
Yonce and his physician, DR.. Stone.
After Mr.. Yonce had retired when
they reached Charleston, Mr.. Wilbur
Yonce went out with the physician,
who was returning home. When Mr..
Yonce returned and entered the room
he found his father dead. Every ef-
fort was made for his restoration, but
after examination it was decided that
heart failure was the cause OF his
death, having sometimes suffered
with such attacks.
The next day the body was brought
here to his home in the Philippi sec
tion and the interment made at Mt.
Calvary church, Rev. Kinard, his pas
tor conducting this.
Mr.. Yonce was a noble, Christian
gentleman, and his life is full OF
beautiful deeds, and now there are

thou good and faithful servant"
