Death of Mr. John Beard.

––––

At half past five o’clock on yester­day morning Mr. John Beard died at his home in this city.

By his death the family loses a faithful, kind and loving husband and father, the church and the temperance cause an earnest member and laborer, and Franklin a good citizen.

The funeral services will take place from the Baptist church this after­noon at 3 o’clock, under the auspices of the Knights of Pythias.
