not even heard of his critical
illness.

coming uncoijscious from the
.first, his-suffering being" imenSe
until the end, which came at 3:10
Friday morning.

man, many hearts were made fc
sorrow, for little thought had
been given to the taking away
by the grim reaper of death of
this youth, who by his splendid
physical and robust health, had
every promise of long life.
The deceased was 18 years and
I a few months old, and had been
i a member of the Methodist
church since childhood. The
i deepest sympathy is felt for the
; relatives of this family, who
; have been peculiarly unfortunate
, in the loss of so many loved ones
I in the past few months.
1 The funeral services will be at
the family residence Saturday
morning conducted by Rev. M.
B. Umated, of the Methodist
i church.
