H is physical vigor worked his ruin, for it caused him to be prodigal of his strength and careless of the ordinary laws of preservation and in the end he paid the penalty of his indifference. H* was slid Iten by that dread di­ sease tuberculosis which first at­ tacked his bones and.then developed in the chest. H e made a courageous but unavailing struggle against it. Some months ago he went to Colo­ rado in the hope that the climate there might relieve him, but he was doomed to disappointment and he returned only to take his bed and await tbo hour of his dissolution. H is great ambition was to secure a first class education and when the way finally opened he entered W il­ mington College, where he studied for awhile, H e also attended a bus­ iness college in Columbus for some time and then be prepared to be­ come a teacher.
