Death has again entered our midst, this time claiming Rev. Joshua Palmer. Mr. Palmer was 54 years old and has lived here about two years, and was well known by nearly everyone and was well respected. He contracted the gripp this fall but it was not thought he was dangerously ill till a few days before he died. He leaves a wife and six children to mourn for a dutiful father and husband. There are four children at home, J. W., the barber here, and a son in Nebraska. He has been an ordained Baptist preacher for 16 years, and those who have known him best, say he lived what he preached. We sympathize with the family, and hope they may all live so as to meet the good old man in Heaven.
