At about three and &lVhji,lf years of age he bad a bad fever soro upon one ot his legs which finally necessitated the removal remov-al of several Inches of bone from the leg. Later another operation wa performed and more bone removed. Ho has boen sorely troubled with this leg ever since. In 1886 a horse fell upon him and he suffered greatly from the Bame for a long t'me. About ten yenrs ago he was kick 3d In the face by a- borse and the cheek bone broken and tho eye forced out upon the cheek Flvo years ago ho was operated upon for appendicitis and came near death's door. Three years ago he tell off a load of hay, alighting alight-ing upon his head, and was unconscious uncon-scious for a long time. He was tnus physically' handicapped all his life. "Only half a man physically," a friend said, yet he was morally every Inch a man.' He never burdened others with his troubles and cares, but covered cov-ered them all beneath a chserful smiling countenance; ever working beyond his strength to bless and make comfortable tils family, and to' perforin his church duties. Tjwerity., three years ago last March he was married to Miss Dell Follett.-Ten Follett.-Ten children were born tonhera, five sons and five daughters. The oldest now 21 years, the youngest 17 months'.

A heavy responsibility now rests upen the family, but the children have had worthy examples' of'nonesty, Industry and perseverance. They aro good children and We believe will prove worthy children of n worthy man. May God's blessings attend them In their hour of bereavement. |
