Obituary: Died, at his residence in South Otter, on Wednesday, Oct. 11, at 6

assisted by Charles GIBSON of the Dunkard church, of which the deceased was 
an honored and respected member at the time of his death, after which the

tomb to await the resurrection of the just. He leaves a wife, seven children, 
one sister and a host of relatives and friends to mourn his loss.
