OBITUARY (COMMUNICATED)

It becomes my painful duty to announce the sudden and unexpected death of Mr. 
John Parland, in the 58th year of his age.  His death was occasioned by a fall 
from his horse.  The deceased was a native of Scotland, which place he left 
when quite a youth, destitute of a home, friends or money; but from economy, 
industry and perseverance, he had accumulated a handsome property, which he 
has left with a wife and two daughters, who were the delight of his soul, to 
mourn his irreparable loss.  As a husband, he was kind and affectionate; as a 
father, loving and indulgent; as a friend, warm hearted and generous.  His 
house has long been the welcome asylum of the wearied, and his hands were 
always extended to the needy.  I speak of him not as a stranger, but as a 
friend and relative—one who has known him for years; and who has received from 
his generous hands, more than could be expected from a father.  Not even a 
thought foretold his fate—but in a moment he was thrown from the summit of 
life and happiness, into the dark valley of Death.  H.  Colonel’s Island, 
Glynn County, Ga.
