He ate a hearty supper the evening before, not complaining more than common. He had a stroke seven or eight years ago, but continued going around some until recently, when he was confined to the house. He was near seventy years old, had been married twice,was the father of about thirteen children, and had been a Mason for forty-five years and a member of the Methodist church for many years.
