WILLIAM D. Rockefeller died

81. He left a fortune estimated
at two hundred millions dollars.
Death struck down this aged
man of finance just as his own

cum near his estate. 1t is almost
completed and in a few weeks
the bodies of Mr.. Rockefeller
and his wife will be placed with

The building of his own tomb
before he died recalls the prep

of Richmond county, has made
This paper has mentioned this
before, but is doing so again. Mr.
Ingram already has his tombstone
erected, and the inscriptions
carved on it, leaving only space
for the date of his death
to be filled in. Mr.. Ingram
is simply forehanded; he wants
to make sure that proper head

place. However, the POST DIS

limited to two classes of voters,
first, those who may be absent
from the County on the day of

those who are physically unable
to present themselves at the

going will be borne in mind by
the people of the County.
The next point that / desire to
call to the attention of the people
generally is that ever absentee

be preserved by the Registrar in

to me, as Chairman of the County
Board of Elections, and | am re.
