JOSEPH WILLIAMSON URQUHART

Communicated.

   Entered into life eternal on Thursday, Dec. 19, 1929, Joseph Williamson 
Urquhart, eldest son of the late Judge J.W. Urquhart and Frances Ridley 
Urquhart, in the sixty-sixth year of his age.

   In the sudden death of "Joe" Urquhart, his family and friends have been 
painfully shocked and profoundly grieved.  His going has withdrawn from our 
midst a loved relative, a faithful friend, an upright citizen and a worthy 
man.  He was ever bright and cheerful always willing to prefer others to 
himself.

   Having descended from a long line of distinguished ancestry, he worthily 
represented and preserved the high traditions that were his heritage.  His 
tender care and devotion to his mother were the outstanding features of his 
well rounded character.

   For many years he had been a faithful communicant of the Episcopal Church. 
His Christianity was not showy or of words, but breathed forth in acts of 
thoughtful kindness and faithfulness to duty.

   The last summons came almost without a moment's warning, but found him "at 
his post," active in the task God had set for him.  It is a great comfort to 
us who loved him, that he was spared the suffering of a lingering illness. 
He leaves to mourn their loss two sisters and five brothers, besides a host 
of other relatives.

   May He who caused this distressing bereavement administer His holy 
consolation and mercifully bind up the wounds in the hearts of his loved ones. 

"Thy will be done." R.M.R.
