Samuel S. Redifer, Jr.
After a lingering illness of consumption, Samuel S. Redifer Jr., departed this life last evening. Mr. Redifer was in the twenty-sixth year of his age at the time of his death, and from childhood was well known in this community.
At an early age he became office boy , in employ of the Patriot Publishing Company, where he soon ingratiated himself into the esteem of all with whom he came in contact. From the office he went to the book bindery as an apprentice, serving faithfully his full time in that capacity. After his apprenticeship he remained connected with the book bindery of the PATRIOT company, serving a number of years as foreman of the department, till declining health compelled him to withdraw from the establishment. Mr. Redifer was an honest, upright man, of a cheerful disposition, and respected by his companions and acquaintances. His sufferings were long and painful and borne with great fortitude.
