The deceased went to O'Neill on Sat., Nov 21st and was feeling much better than he had been for some time, and returned in the evening. On Sabbath morning, he ate a hearty breakfast, after which he walked out into the yard, came in and remarked to his wife that he would read awhile and then answer some letters. He seated himself in a chair, took up the paper to read, while thus occupied death came and claimed him as his victim. There had been no indication that his end was so near. His loving wife, who was in the room at the time, chanced to look in the direction of her husband and noticing his ghastly appearance, hastened to his side only to find the lifeless form of her loving companion. He was Converted and joined the M E Church in the year 1857 at Kirksville, MO.

He was a devoted husband, a kind and affectionate father and in every sense of the word a good neighbor. His home was at all times open for the entertainment of those who might chance to pass that way, and many a hungry and weary stranger will testify to the hospitality of that home. His sudden death has cast a gloom over the community as far as the departed one was known. Mark Goodham Post has received a severe shock.
