==============================

In Memoriam.

Robert H. Doty, son of Wm. and Elizabeth Doty, was born March 6, 1846, died May 17, 1894, aged 48 years, 1 month and 11 days. He had been afflicted for months but bore his suffering with patience. By his own re­quest he was moved to the home of the aged parents the day before he died, choosing to spend the last hours of life with them, it seeming to be a great comfort to him. He leaves a wife, father and mother, one brother and seven sisters, with many other near relatives to mourn. He rests in hope.
