He had entered his 87th year and is survived by a precious wife, who is in her 82nd year. Oh, what a pityful separation, they were devotedly attached to each other.

Peron ally peaking, from a child, 1 could ask my good papa foi anything and I was sure to get it. He took such a pleasure in working for and spending at. he possessed for the satisfaction of his family, and in his declin ing years he reaped what ht had sown, for there was noth ing that wasn’t gladly done toi his comfort and enjoyment am. while he was almost blind foi the last few years, he retained his life-long cheerful disposition as he was constantly whistling and singing and was ever ready for a joking expression from any one, yet in reality truth ness was a unique feature ol his life. He lived a quiet unfailing Christian life that pleasingly tells us he is in heaven. He dear ly loved to read and study Godi word when he could see, latei ha so much enjoyed being read to always making the assertion when asked, where he’d like to hear rjkid “that it was all good’ Bro. Thompson in conducting the funeral service so beauti fully illustrated papa’s life in saying, "He never tried t*o be something he wasn’t”. Oh that his three soils will live the true life their lather lived, and that his daughters will cherish the loving advise he gave them, and the sweet old companion be comforted in knowing their living together here was an ideal union, yet soon they will be re-united where it is in-expressable joy to not be seperated again. He so much loved to hear the song “There'll be joy in heaven wuen we all get home", May the all-wise God aid each of us to strive more earnestly tc gain the joys of Heaven and all meet with angel papa who a waits our coming.
