Although the health of Mr, J. S. Van-
Marter has been feeble for years
and his voice almost gone for many
months, he kept on his feet until a few
days since, and when his death was whis-
pered about the community on Friday
evening, most of the people were startled,
for they knew not that lie was confined
to his bed. He was on the street but two
or three days before his death. Deceased
was evidently waiting for the end, for he
gave a ring and other effects to his fam.
ily as tokens of rememberance, and on
Friday morning told his wife that he re-
alized the end was near and assured her
that he was willing and ready to depa,-
having no fears of death or the future.
On Thursday tie stood np and had his
Youngest daughter, Vickie, brush his
clothes. His decease was of a character
that he could not lie in bed, so he rested
on a reclin,.:; chair and as the sun was
sitting in the westerr zky, Mr V. passed
away without a stru,--

By- all their country's wishes blest!

Returns to deck their hallowed mould,
She there shall dress a sweeter sod
