was very suddenly taken away with heart disease, He was well
and hearty and all at once, he dropped down and' his head, fell
npon his wife's lap, and in 10 minutes passed away.
H6 belonged to Christ's Chosen Chu rcb, In Love and Union,
for 25 years; worked in the JAHVille Colonv for those 25
'years, and was a faithful member all during this time.
He stood asja giant oak of the forest, fur Christ and His
Cause. And on .the 3rd. at 3 O'clock, there wa3 over ono
; hundred followed him to hi last resting place.
His Funeral services was conducted by Rev, L, S. Garrett.

Church; after which the Corpse was viewed by the congregation,
i then tbe Corpse was taken to tbe Selah Cemetery, followed by
his wife in a buggy, next by Miss Yates, School teacher and her
schollars all in line numbering over 40, she needs much praise
for her manifestation of respect for tbe deal.
The body was laid to rest in earth.
The soul had passed to heaven above.
He loved his Christ from his christian birth,
His spirit Jeft like an angel dove.
. For many years he served his God,

But now he lays beneath t ha sod,
With flowers upon his grave.
" Dear Friends we know its sad to part,
Yet grieve no more for'him,
Daar wife lift up your drooping heart.
