The remains of Mr. Josegh C. Hannah were brought here for interment Saturday. He died at the Hospital for the Insane at Jackson. He had been an inmate of the .institution for nearly two years. He has been singularly unfor tunate all of his life. His father died before the child could re member him. When he was still a boy his mother became a helpless invalid and as he reached man’s estate he became afflicted with a spinal affection that ren dered him a helpless sufferer for years and finally destroyed his reason. He left one brother and five sisters to weep o’erUhis bier. His life was rendered as pleas ant as conditions would allow by the untiring devotion of his sis ter, Miss A. C. Hannah, whp sacrificed all selfish pleasure tljpt she might alleviate the suffering of members of her house-hold. The suffering has ceased and his weary spirit has found rest. Though denied the privilege of a life spent in active service, his life has not been in vain. As friends gazed for the last time upon the pale face they whis pered, “Joe was a good boy.” May the all-wise Father pour His healing balm upon their ach ing hearts.
