Mr. William KISTNER, perhaps the oldest man in this county, died at his residence in North Madisonville, Wednesday night. He was about 86 years of age and had for several years been a citizen of this town. He came from Christian county, where he has a brother living, who is also quite aged. Mr. KISTNER had for years been a member of the Christian church. He was indeed a christian, both in name and practice. The writer had known him for several years and for the now dead man, we always had the very greatest respect. His life was one of the very best, the most pure and blameless that we almost ever knew. He was a man of integrity and was as honest a man as ever lived. He leaves a wife who is well stricken in years. We are under the impression that he left no children. The remains were taken yesterday afternoon to the Odd Fellow's cemetery where they were laid to rest.
