She grew up among us from childhood, and her lovely, kind and amiable disposition endeared her to every one who knew her. By nature frank, open hearted, generous and possessed of the kindliest feeling of human nature, none knew her but to love her and it may safely be asserted taht she had not an enemy in the wide world.

The deceased had been for the last six years of his life a consistent member of the Presbyterian Church and at the time when arrested by disease- was pursuing a course of liberal education at Washington College, Ia., with a view to the office of the Gospel Ministry. But it has pleased the head of the Church suddenly to remove him from his service on earth to a higher reward in Heaven.- During a rapid decline of six months continuance he frequently expressed his entire acquiescence in the soverign will of God- and "that he had nothing to fear either from death or hell." His end was peaceful andhis numerous surviving friends have the satisfaction to know that he left them in full assurance of a blessed immortality.
