It becomes our sad duty, this week, to chronicle the death of one who has for years been actively identified with the life of the community, and was known by many of our readers. For more than half a century he has made his home on a farm near Otranto, and for a number of years, besides operating the farm, has purchased poultry, becoming acquainted with most of the people in that section. He had many friends and enjoyed meeting them. Altho he had not been well for years, he was cheerful, happy and always busy.
