Another Death

Hubert Oxford, a son of Mr. Jas. Oxford near Concord, died at the home
of his father last Wednesday after only a few days illness of pneumonia.

It was only a few weeks ago that Mr. Oxford was called upon to bury
another son who had died of the same disease. In the latter death, he
loses a noble boy just arriving at manhood. The event adds sadness to a
home already bowed with grief.
