Mr. Kivett retired in his usual health, just before three o'clock in the morninir. his wife was awakened by his making some complaint. She aroused the tamny ana ne was soon gone to the rest that remaineth for the people of God. Mr. Kivett was a successful far meer, hard-working man, and an up right citizen. By his noble Christian character and affable manner, he en deared himself to a large circle of friends and acquaintances. He al ways met his friends with a smile and a hearty handshake. He had a ten dor and affectionate heart, was de voted to his family, and loved them most dearly. His love and devotion to them were very remarkable. A father's love has such a wonderful in fluence upon his children. We have known Mr. Kivett for a long time, and he was always the same a true and noblo Christian gen tleman. He was a consistent member of the Baptist church. The remains were tenderly laid to rest in the Shady Grove cemetery amidst a large concourse of weeping relatives and friends. The funeral was most touchingly and tenderly preached by his pastor, Rev. Mr. Dowd. A widow and four children survive to mourn their great and irreparable loss. May God's richest grace com fort and sustain the grief stricken family. A Friend. MONUMENT TO CHAS. B.
