OBITUARY
Lambert M. Feltus, the father of the editor of the Courier, died at his home in Belmont County, Ohio, near Wheeling West Va., recently, of cancer of the stomach. He was born in New York in 1812, and was a son of Rev. Henry J. Feltus of the Episcopal Church, of which church also the deceased, in his younger days, was an active member, many years serving as organist of St. Stephen's Church, Brooklyn. He graduated at Harvard College, and for twenty years practiced the profession of law in New York City. He was married in early manhood, and his first wife died about 40 years ago. Several years before the war he removed to Cincinnati, where he was engaged as an accountant in a banking institution and was soon after married again, and his wife now survives him. At the outbreak of the war the deceased enlisted as a private soldier, and served in various capacities until the close of the rebellion. He carried a musket through several hard fought battles, and was a patriot in ever sense that the word implies. Several years after the close of the war he removed to the quiet home where he died, surrounded by many loving hearts. He was an unselfish man; kind, tender, indulgent to a fault. Had he his own way all the world have been happy. He denied himself that others might have. His constant hope was to see especially those he loved surrounded by peace and plenty. He was an enemy to no man; no man was an enemy to him--strife and discord were unknown to him. He strived to be a christian. Not an ostentatious one, but a true christian at heart, one every ready to do what was right between man and man. His death has wrung the hearts of his wife and children, who knew him far better than the world. It was the first death in the immediate family for nearly forty years. We begged our readers this space to place on record a tribute to a noble heart, a good man - our Father.
