It is with poignant grief that we chronicle the death of Mr. H. S. Townsend, which occurred at his residence in this place Wednesday night, November 14, at twenty-eight minutes past 11 o'clock He had been complaining at intervals for the past eight months, but was confined to his bed only a short time preceding his demise. Mr. Townsend was in his fifty-third year, and had lived in Colorado county since infancy. He was a worthy, good citizen, quiet and unobtrusive in deportment, drawing to his character many friends; a sincere Christian, a member of the Methodist church of long standing; an affectionate husband and brother. He was buried in the Masonic cemetery on the following day at 4 o'clock, with Masonic honors by Weimar Lodge, No. 423, A. F. & A. F., assisted by members of Caledonia, Oakland and Osage Lodges, a large concourse of friends and relatives attending the sad rites.
