He was an honest energetic en-ergetic man and was loved by all I who knew him. His wife and " ten children survive him. The '' funeral services were very ap- propriate and touching. The speakers were Prof. A. M. Durham, Bp. Charles R. Parkinson, Parkin-son, S. A. Matheson, Morgan : Richards, Bp. James Adams and Walter C. Mitchell.
