some time, and for the past six weeks suffered severely with heart trouble which was the
immediate cause of death.

the gaining of an abundant entrance to the better life beyond.
The remains were brought here from his late home Monday, and the funeral took place from
the M.E. church, Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock, Rev. M.H. Bartram conducting the
