FRANK HOYl' DIES
 AFTER SHORT ILLNESS
WAS ONE OF THE CoMMUNITY'S BEST AND MOST USEFUL
 CITIZENS

The entire community was pro- foundly shocked last Saturday morn ing when it became known that F. C. Hoyt had died at his room at the Gal loway Hotel about 1 o'clock following an illness of only few hours duration.
 He had not been feeling well for day or two. but nothing was thought of it, as he was up most of the time and was in his usual good spirits until about noon Friday when he complained of a serious headache and a physician was called It soon developed that he was suffering from uric acid poisoning, caused from inac- tice kidneys. He grew steadily worse and died about o'clock Satur- day morning.
 His sudden and untimely death has brought the cup of sorrow to his rel atives and many friends His was a heart of gold. Frank Hoyt was one of Natures noblemen in its truest sense.
 It is sad at any time to stand in the presence of death and watch life's ebbing tide drifting a loved one into the great ocean of eternity. but wher there comes the whispering assurance that our friend or loved one has thus been transflanted to a greater and better life, 1t brings balm to the wounded and bleeding heart
 And as We stood beside his easket, we could not realize that he was dead; we could see him-not in Deaths cold shroud of sorrow and despair, but smiling upon Us from the sunset halo that marks Gods fare well to the day-smiling with all the well remembered grace of his man. hood, love and devotion; and we were reminded of the sublime sentiment eX- pressed by someone who has so beau tfully said
 "The sunset speaks but feebly of the glories of Another Day; all is well"
 His death removes from this com munity one of it's best and most pro gressive citizens; a man who at all times stood for ,he progress and ad vancement of the community; and a man whose influence has always

stood out for those things that were for the betterment and upbuilding of the community, both morally and in a business and financial way.
 Charles Franklin Hoyt was born at Ludington, Mich, April g, 1871. He came to Independence County when quite a young man. He taught in he public schools of the county for some time, and 1t was while thus en- gagged that he formed and attachment for Miss Pearl Keller who was then a student in his school. This mutual attachment ripened into love, and they were married October g, 1897. Unto this union five children were bera, four of whom survive-one son and three daughters-Horaee, Ruby, Rowena, and Lillian. Besides his wife and children he is survived by his father, whose home is in Michigan two brothers, W. W. Hoyt of Sulphur Rock, and~Gapt. Ross Hoyt, of the Coast Artillery Corps, of the U. S. Army. and one sister, Mrs. Mabel Clancy of Calamine, Ark.
 Deceased had been a member of the Methodist church for IF years, having united with the Church while attend ing Hendrix College at Conway in 1892 He was closely identified with the church and had been superintend- ent of the Sunday school for several years.
