A Good Man Dies

It is with deep regret that we have this week to chronicle the death of
one of Pike's oldest and best men, Mr. Nathan Boyd, who lived a few
miles south of here at Fincher's church, at which place he had been a
useful member for sixty years. Mr. Boyd lived to a ripe old age, being
85 years old. During his long life, he never drank a drop of whiskey,
and for sixty years had not taken a dose of medicine of any kind.
