We are sorry to report the death
last week'Of John Lowe, for many
years a citizen of Hite&an. He was
taken sick about six weeks ago and
developed Brig&ta disease from which
he died. John has been a very pains
taking worker during his life and he
was well esteemed by all his com
rades in the mines. He leaves |4,600
to be divided between his sisters in
England. His intentions were to leave
a portion of the Inheritance to his
nieoe in England but he had written
the request on some paper and signed
it himself, but had not witnesses so
unfortunately his nearest relatives
will get the benefit. H1b request will
be made known to the relatives, how
ever. The funeral cortege left the
house of W. Winston about 1:80
o'clock, preceded by thd I. O. O. F.
of which lodge he was a member. The
church was quite full with friends
when Pastor Artz commenced the fun
eral service. "Nearer My God to
Thee" was sung by the choir, after
which the pastor led in prayer. He
then preached a beautiful sermon,
the choir then sang, "I Need Thee
Every Hour." Miss M. Davies sang
"Faoe to Face," in a touching manner.
