DEATH OF ALEXANDER PORT, JR.

When we announced in these colum*
last week that Alexander Port, jr., wass* 
abed we little thought that we would s*
have the sad duty to perform of chr*
icling his death, which occurred at *
residence, on Seventh street, at 5 o'clo*
on Friday morning. Mr. Port was t*
picture of health, and from appearan*
bid fair to be spared many years, *
about four weeks ago he was seized w*
catarrhal and stomach trouble whi*
baffling the efforts of skillful physician*
and careful nursing, resulted in *
death at the time stated. He was  o*
jovial disposition, kind hearted a*
courteous, and his death is regretted *
a large circle of friends and acquaint*
ces. He was the youngest son of M*
and Mrs. James Port, and at the time *
his death was 33 years of age, the d*
previous to his death having been *
birthday. Those left to mourn his ea*
death are his wife, his parents, th*
brothers and two sisters, who have *
sympathy of the entire community *
their hour of sorrow. The remains w*
followed to their final resting place * 
Riverview Cemetery Sunday afterno*
By an unusually large concourse of sorro*
ing friends and acquaintances. "Aft*
life's fitful fever he sleeps well," a*
let us hope that "all is well" with hi*
in the great beyond.
