He studied law in this place, and was admitted to the bar last spring, soon after which he went to Kansas, and located at Emporia, Breckenridge county (now Lyon County), where he commenced the practice of his profession. A few weeks ago he returned home on a visit, was taken sick soon after, and died as mentioned above. His body was interred on Wednesday, at Bonaparte,
Most of our readers will recollect Mr. R. (sic) as an honorable and energetic young man of much promise--leaving here for his visit in health and full of hope. Truly, "in the midst of life we are in death."
