young man - with extra ability - and was
highly esteemed by
all that knew him. He was only 29 years
of age at his death.

It
is with great sorrow we announce the death of this young
man, which took place Friday night at 7:oo
O'clock from yellow
fever. Mr. MONGER, when he was between
14 -15 years of age

during the war. He came to this place in
1872 and commenced
in the study of law under Judge TREWHITT,
was in due time
admitted to the bar, and practiced his
profession untill his
death. He was once appointed a cadet at

to his sorrow stricken
