At Colusa, June 18th, Samuel C. Chester, aged 31 years.
Although Sam has been lingering for several years with that most dreaded of all diseases, the consumption, and all his friends have been expecting at any time to hear of his death, yet the reality falls sad upon us. No man enjoyed in a higher degree the respect and confidences of the community in which he lived. But he has only gone a few days ahead of all the vast throng of living creatures upon the face of the earth, all must "tread the path of Fate", and the living would so live as to be able to meet the good of those who have gone ahead of them. Let us all pray to Him who gave his blood to wash away the sins of the world, that we may finally meet this good man, who has gone to render up his account, around the throne of Mercy.
