He has been in declining health for several months and a few weeks ago he was brought to the home of his daughter, Mrs. S. Mauk, south of Evansport, where he has had the best of care and ll that loving hands could do was done for him. He was a very patient sufferer and it was a pleasure for those arounf him to administer to his wants. He only bid the time when he was to answer the final call, ot to battle, but to that heavenly home where peace and happiness reigns forever. He departed this life early Monday morning, April 17, 1922, at the age of 74 years, eight months and 25 days.

Johnson, Drumright, Okla.; one brother, Lafeyette Scott, Bryan, Ohio.
We think of you in silence,
No eyes can see us weep.
Many silent tears are shed,
When others are asleep.
Happy were we together,
Lonely are our hearts today;
For the one we loved so dearly,
Has forever passed away.
The funeral services were held in the Pulaski M.E. church, Wednesday afternoon, April 19, 1922, conducted by the Rev. Joseph Shepard. The remains were laid to rest in the Shiffler cemetery.'
