Known personally throughout the Terriotry, there are few who will not sop to ? a tear to his memory when they ? that John C.

Grand Master J. W. Brown ?tacted the services at the grave, and on Thursday, August 20th, all that was mortal of John C. Henly was laid to its rest? amid the grief of his brethren and a ? community.

? his tombstone it may be truthfully be ? -

"None knew him but to love him,
None named him but to praise."

? may gratify his aged parents and his brothers and sisters to know that he received every attention in his last illness that the hands of friendship and affection ? render, and that he died and was ? among friends who will ever cherish his memory.
