MEMORIAL.

Died, at his father's home in Lee County, Texas, on the 24th of August, 1878, in the 23d year of his age, J. T. Bozarth, formerly of Llano county.

Mr. B. came to our county during the .....1876, and held the ......sheriff. Mr. B. was an efficient officer, breasting the winter's storms and summer's heat in the discharge of his official duties, ever faithful, ever zealous in the cause of his country's good. He has left a name among his mourning friends and relatives which will forever remain a monument in the hearts of the people he served so faithfully, an example of kindness, patience and endurance. Cut down in the beginning of a promising manhood by the ravages of consumption, he has gone. By his death, his family has lost an affectionate son and brother, his associates, a true and faithful friend, his country a patriot in the discharge of trying duties from which he never shrank.

John, it is indeed hard, oh so hard to believe, thou art gone from us, to that "undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveler returns."...

A Friend, Llano, Sept. 4, 1878
