C. Collins, Esq. The death of his wife, which occurred two years ago was a terrible shock to Mr. Cleveland. It impaired his health which has been failing ever since. Mr. Cleveland was born, reared and spent all the days of his life in Kenton county. Few men of the county were better known or more highly esteemed. No blot stains the record of his long life. The funeral will take place from the residence of Mr. Collins tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock.
