Shortly after taking ZIP his residence
IN this village. following his second mar

business and soon conceived the idea of
issuing a weekly newspaper and about
40 years ago began the publication OF
the Londonderry Sitter, over which he
presided as editsr. manager, rcnorter and
pressman for about 81 years.
This paper had an cyentful period OF
growth and a most strenuou. struggle 10

but the persistent efforts of its editor

management, IS acquired considerable
influence in all the countryside and even
beyond the borders Of the local commun-

After he had sold The Sitter and give
up active work his health gradually failed
and advancing age bore heavily upon him,
Following the death of his second wife
this condition affected his mental rs well

few years he was not seen upon the vii

His labors on The Sitter were most
arduous. even the building of his life into

to bring a sense of enjoyment into that

He was a man of strong convictions,
never wanting in courage to stand by
such convictions and support them by

His persistency in pursuit of his ideals
in spite of all the obstacles encountered
affords an example serviceable ard most
useful to those who survive him.
