We are sorry to note the death of one of the best colored boys who ever lived.
John GROSSE, a boy who was raised in Pleasanton died at his home in that town
last week. He was a member of a family of six children and was very poor. The
family seemed to be one of a affliction, as each child upon reaching a certain
age sickened and died. John was an energetic young man and one winter he worked
at the printer's trade, was night porter at the hotel and did janitor work at
four professional men's offices during the entire winter. His earnings buried
his brothers and sisters and when it came his time to die a collection was
necessary to defray his funeral expenses.
Such is life.
