He had been sick for more than a year and at times it was thought he could not survive, but after each attack he would rally and be able to get about again.

He was a member of Hamlin Post, G.A.R., which had charge of the service on Sunday, Feb. 4th, the same being held at the house at 2 o�clock p.m. Rev. J. C. Cromer, officiating. After the prayer offered by Mr. Cromer, Mrs. Dr. Dignan sang a beautiful number, being accompanied on the piano by Miss Anna Ransom. The services were then turned over to the Commander Mathews of Hamlin Post, who, with Comrades Williams, Tucker and Haskell made suitable remarks concerning the life and character of the deceased, after which Mrs. Dignan rendered most beautifully another hymn. The services closed at the house with prayer, and the remains were followed to the cemetery by the G.A.R. and S.O.V., relatives and other friends. Deceased was greatly beloved by our citizens, as the large attendance at the services testified. Peace to his ashes. The family and other relatives have the sympathy of all in their sad hour. |
