Obituary.
-----
Died, at his residence, in Bolivar, on the 18th of the present month, at 3 1/2 o'clock A. M. Dr. HAMILTON BLACK, for years and honored and respected citizen of this place. Interlude of the remarks we intended to make on his demise, we give place to the following tribute to his memory, from his intimate friend, Rev. E. H. Osborne:
"By his kind, affectionate and generous disposition endeared himself to all who knew him. Dr. Black wasn't a man of superior intellect. He had mastered his noble profession by years of diligence, energy and industry. Kind and gentle to the poor and the needy, he deserved the appellation of good Samaritan. The writer of the simple but affectionate tribute to his memory, has seen him set by the bedside of the penniless, both nurse and physician, friend and brother, with no hope of pecuniary reward. He had as kind of heart as ever be in the bosom of man. A broad and beautiful charity marked all his actions towards the needy. He was a true and faithful friend, a devoted husband, a kind and intelligent father. He has fallen in the proud flash of manhood, in the hopeful noon of life. His his desolate live and heartbroken children mourn over his untimely death. We will just do memory of his kindness, and pride that He, whose tempers the wind to the shorn lamb, may deal very gently with the sorrowful hearts of his lonely widow and fatherless children. In the rider of this they shall find a friend who would weep with those who weep, and whose hand would hold back the shadow that has fallen upon them, and bid them trust in God.
