its flight, possibly several hours earlier. There was no evidence that he had
undergone the least pain or struggle, but like a tired child, had fallen
asleep. His posture was so typical of his life ,at peace with his Maker and
all mankind, and no person who knew him, could doubt the final resting place of a life as pure and noble. Though he had been a resident of He was married to Miss Birdie HOBSON, of
