town for the past two years and half being a nearly helpless invalid during the 
last two years, passed to the great beyond.Altho he was generally known to be 
very low life had stayed b hm fr so long that when death claimed him, the 
community as well a the relatives were greatly shocked and as much grieved to

was known as Locomotor ataxia or a form of paralysis which had gained such 
possession over him that he could help himself but little and then only when in

their loss, it was conceded that he could never recover.
