After a lingering illness extend ing over a period of beveral years, Mr. R. A. Cochran died at his home in the Rehoboth sectiou last Wednesday afternoon. His health began to fail two or three years ago aud his steady loss of strength caus ed hts relatives and friends grea* anxiety. He was never confined to his bed however for any considera ble length of time until he suffered a stroke of paralysis about a month ago. It appeared for a time after being stricken that he would rally and be restored to his accustomed strength but soon a change fur the worse was observed by loved ones who watched so patiently and devo tedly at his bedside.. The death ol' this good man, al though he resided on the extreme western side of the county, was a distinct loss to the county as a whole. In the Civil War he rendered faith ful service and during the half cen tury that has followed Mr. Cochran was in the forefront of every good work. He was one of the pillars of Re hoboth church, and was one of its most liberal supporters. Unless providentially kept away, Mr. Coch ran was always in his accustomed pf.ace, ready to do his full share of whatever was undertaken for the promotion of the cause of Christ at home and abroad. His examplary life was a tower of strength to his community. Everybody had confi dence in Mr. Cockran, and his wise counsel was frequently sought. Re hoboth community has been made better and richer by reason of his having lived in* it. The funeral was held at Rohoboth Thursday af ternoon, Rev. J,. T. Littlejohn offi ciating. . Mr. Cochran is survived by his devoted wife, one daughter, Mrs. Fannie Green', and one son, Mr. Evan Cochran. My Mill is now in operation. Open at all hours. -Smith Milling Co.
