The writer had known for many years, and has yet to hear anyone say ought against the deceased. To know him was to respect him as a true man. He became identified with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church about ten years ago, and has always been a consistent member of that organization. The day following the death of the deceased, Rev H.W.
