Clyde Ruby died in Stockton, Kansas, on the 19th of July last, at the residence of his father, John Ruby, that day being his 17th birthday.

When near the close of life his mother asked him if he thought he was going to leave them soon. He answered, “Yes.” Then she asked him if he was willing to go. He said, yes; he wanted to go and see Jesus, and requested them to meet him in heaven.

Their many friends who knew the family when they resided here will sympathize with them in their bereavement.
