He had suffered four long weeks, and was at last called to go. He was about 35 years old, and leaves a wife and his relations to mourn his death. His mortal remains were buried the following day at Rock Spring church, there to rest in peace till called up by a higher power. He was a member of the Christian church, and a kind and benevolent husband. Grieve not friends, for he is only waiting to be the first to greet you beyond the river of death.
