His country looses one of its defenders and supporters, his neighbors a kind and accommodating neighbor, the children and grand children and affecionate father whose words of counsel and timely admonitions will be missed. His aged companion that has trod the path of life for fifty-nine years is left to watch and wait her appointed time that she will join him in the sweet by-and-by.
