DEATH OF J. 0. DOUGHTY.
(Continued from page 1)
it became known about the oity
that Mr. Doughty had departed
this life, strong men shed tears
of grief and a melanoholy hush
fell over the down town diatriot,
wheae Mr. Doughty was so well
known in business oiroles. Then
oame the expressions of regret
and the many profiers of assist-
ance from friends and neigh-
bors, all of whioh was deeply ap-
preciated by the family.
As a citixsn, business man,
friend and oompanion, no one in
the oity stood higher than Mr.
Doughty. He was a man of a
happy, sunny disposition, greet-
ed every one with a smile and a
oheering word, and was the
friend of all mankind. He was
a loving husband and an affeo-
tionate father. He had a happy
home, always open to receive
his friends and neighbors with
sincere hospitality. To his be-
reaved wife and fatherless child-
ren, is extended the profound
sorrow of a grief-stricken aom-
raunity.
The Funeral
The funeral servioes were held
from the house at 10 o'olock
Monday forenoon, Rev. Frank
M. Colville of the Christian
church officiating, in the ab-
sence of the pastor of the deceas-
ed, Hev. Wardner. Rev. Col-
ville took for his text these
words, found in the Second Cor-
rinthians, 1:9:
"But we had the sentence of
death within ourselves, that we
should not trust in ourselves, but
in God which raiseth the dead."
Rev. Colville said he could
sum up his rsmarks in this sen-
tence, "He was my friend." He
speke words of eulogy for the
departed, and of oheer and oom-
fort for the living, paying a
beautiful tribute to the life of the
deeeased.
Beautiful music was furnished
by a oh ir sempe d of I'ref.
Lehrer, E. H. .layne, Orville St.
John, F. W. Oakee, Mrs. Eaton,
and the Misses Bess I tradley and
Bess Weiser, F. P. Shepard as
aocompanist. Miss Bradley also
rendered a touohing solo, so ap-
propriate to theoooasion, "Beau-
tiful Isle of Somewhere."
The pall bearers were: Ray
Wood, Guy 8mith, Lee Ballou,
W.D.Thompson, Louis Voisen,
D. T. Brown.
Beautiful floral ofierings testi-
fied to the love and esteem in
which the deceased was held in
this city and community.
The remains were lain to rest
in Gracelawn oemetery, a large
conoourseof sorrowing friends,
perhaps as large as in the histo-
ry of this oity, remaining with
the body until the dust of earth
forever hid from the eyes of
man all that was earthly of the
departed.
From 10 to 12, all of the busi-
ness houses of the city olosed
their doors as a mark of esteem
for the departed.
