He subscribed to numerous farm papers which he perused thoroughly. He was well posted on all agricultural subjects. This abundance of information, together with his keen sense of humor, made him a most delightful companion and one who will be much missed in his circle of friends. About two weeks before his death he took cold which developed into bronchitis,. His daughter and her husband did everything possible to relieve his suffering and make him comfortable but his heart, weak before, was unable to endure the strain and he passed away, January 30.

The bearers were Ernest Libby, Melvin Seavey, Charles Spooner and Willis Nichols. Mr. Jose is survived by one sister, Mrs. C. G.
