F. Denton Fridens, [sic] VA, March 26th, '95. Mr. Selah F. Denton, of this place, departed this life Monday night, March 18th, after 5 or 6 months of intense suffering from gangrene [sic] on his foot. His age was 73 years, 8 months and 3 days. He was buried at Frieden's church on Wednesday following, Rev. O. B. Heller officiating. He leaves a wife and three grand-children to mourn their loss. The bereaved ones have our heart-felt sympathy. Mr. Denton's suffering was very great, yet he was never heard to murmur of complain, but bore it patiently until the Death Angel called him home. We have known the deceased for at least 14 years. He was a devoted husband, a good, honest man and neighbor, and was held in high esteem by all. --A friend.
