He was a man of wonderful vitality
although he never seemed to have
good health. Many times his friends
thought he was at deah's door, when
he would rally and soon be among
his associates again. He was grand

gave him the opportunity of acquiring
good education. He attended the
medical college at Louisville, KY, and
read medicine under the celebrated DIR
Yandell, but his ill-health seemerd to
act as check to every attempt he
would make to apply himself to bus
mess. He was open-hearted and gen
erous, and in death he found the relief
he in vain sought for in life-rest,
