Mr. Hofer was a young man of sterling qualities, a man who was liked by all who knew him for his kind and jovial spirit. He will be missed in the home., the community, and the social side of life. We extend to the bereaved all that human heart can give sympathy and command them to one who is able to render sure and permanent consolation in these dark and trying hours.
