When he entered the postoffice Thurs day morning he stated that he was feeling very badly and he lacked to have died that morning. He felt that death was near, for he stated that he would not live long, but he said that he prayed that he might not die alone, so he took his little daughter Lois with him Thurs day, the last day he was able to go on his route. He had been carrier on route two for seventeen years, and he faithfully performed his work daily, accommo dating everybody gladly and willing ly. He understood the post-office work thoroughly and he was always glad to give any information to any ques tion that, you might ask him about.

For years he has been untiring in his ef forts to help make this a better com munity.
