C. T. The deceased leaves a wife and one child, besides a large number of relatives and friends. He was much beloved and respected by all who knew him. He possessed a sober, mild and gentle disposition, and was patient, kind and cheerful – an affectionate husband and kind neighbor. He has left an aching heart at the family hearthstone, but yet one who mourns not without hope of meeting him in a brighter and happier world, where the trials and strifes of this earthly tabernacle will never be known.
