The bereaved and heart-broken family have the sympathy of the entire community, hoping that these broken ties may soon he reunited on the other shore.
Card of Thanks.
Mr. Editor: I wish through the columns of the LEADER to extent my most heartfelt thanks to the many friends that came to our assistance in all the illness, death and burial of my husband.
Though we have suffered the loss of such a dear friend and we are so lonely, and our hearts are almost broken, we realize that these were indeed friends in our great time of need, and words fail to express the deep gratitude of my heart in this trying hour.
Mrs. N. McCullough and Family
