Maple Valley

Since my last communication, our citizens have been called upon to pay their last respect to our honored and respected neighbor, H. H. Woodmansee. He has been a long and patient sufferer, from that much dreaded disease, consumption; but his trials of life are past and he is gone to reap christian's reward. As the supreme hour of his dissolution drew near, a desire to live seemed to possess him. He felt that his mission of life had not been fully accomplished; but the Master ordained otherwise, and he passed away without a groan or a struggle, to that borne from whence no traveler ever yet returned.
