following an illness that kept him from
his work only few days.
Brother Selby was man that made the
best of the life that was given him here
His attachments in character and influence
were the result of personal choice and

tages in education and religion. He was
known by all as honest in his dealings
kindly disposed in his conduct towards his
fellows, truthful in word, above reproach in
his habits of life, careful and industrious
in matters Of business.
He possessed an exceptionally good
memory and had the faculty of expressing
himself effectively. He used these gifts
in worthy way. Being a lover of the
Bible and reading it extensively, he ac-
quired readiness to converse on religious
subjects and gave talks in public that
we're always original and instructive.
Brother Selby was a member of Grace NJ
E. Church South, Gaithersburg, for more
than forty years. He loved his church and
was a constant attendant upon its services
His faith in his Lord was strong and I'M
wavering to the end. Besides the friends
within and without the Church, who miss
him, he leaves wife and two children, of
his immediate family. to eharish his men,
ory and emulate the good in his example.
