God and the angels and the spirit world were very near to him. The Maid o( Orleans heard voices, we are told: so did Uncle Josh ? voices from the hills and the God of the hills! With all his mysticism, however, there was sense and logic to what he said. As a logician, had he been schooled, he would have been the peer of the master logician, John C.. whose grand-nephew tie was Like most mountaineers, also, he had a keen sense of humor, which he used for seasoning in his private conversations and public discourses? rich, racy, original humor that came largely .from his own observations and ex periences. His wealth? if his moderate circumstances could be called such ? consisted in cattle and bees and timber Once he said to his friend, Phil Elliott: "I've made my money honest. My cattle have grazed the grass is the Smokies that the frost would otherwise have got, and my bees have sucked the honey that would have otherwise evaporated and gone back to heaven." And when the W M Rltter Lumber Company came to Hazel Creek, he sold many acres of valuable timber to the lumberman, enough to provide for him and his family In old age. , Bids Farewell To Smokies And in time this economic security was needed. With ad vancing years came ill health, and Uncle Josh was finally forced to leave his cabin in the laurel and move to Bryson City, the county seat, where he might be near a physician.

In the little cemetery at Bi^son City they laid him to rest. Beautiful beyond compare for situation is that city of the dead. Nestling atop a lovely knoll, which forms the southeast ern rampart of the tiny town, it overlooks a winding river, the blue, classic Tuckaseigee of the Cherokees, river of the red man's dreams. To the north, in the dim distance, stretches the mighty expanse of the Great Smokies, midst-wreather and cloud-engulfed, to Uncle Josh the hills of home, the hiJls of God. Through the midst of the village, dividing it in twain, flows the murmuring stream, winding like a silver thread about the base of cemetery ridge, whereon he lies, and singing for him an eternal requiem. . ?
