On last Saturday at 12, M. the dread messenger, entered the home of our aged neighbor, Henry Pearson and without a moment's warning caught him in his icy embrace.

He was sawing wood, apparently in good health, when the summons came, and without a word he sank to the ground and in less than a minute the heart that had been throbbing in that noble breast for nearly seventy-six years was stilled forever.

For forty-one years he has lived near our town and his many noble traits of character endeared him to the hearts of our people. His heart-broken family has the sympathy of all.
