A special telegram totbeDAlLT Record
fron Plnmer. announces the tad newi el tbe
death of Mr- George C. Pratbtr, of ibefirm
f Pratber Bros. & Hatch, who expired at
tbe residence of lilt brother, Mr. A. S. Pra
tber, at 10 JO, a. dk tbil farenooo. Mr. P.
weswell known to ossrly all lo.thia tectloo
and throughout tbe oil region, having been
born snJ. raised In ,tht Tillage of Pluoier,
and for number of yean engaged la tbe
I eokinj huainea. fu that place and at Pit
bole, and, (till .more, recent! at Sbaroo,
Mercer county.
In 1861, Mr. Pratber aod Mr. Thomas H.
DuDcati, both of Plumer, were tbe lucky
purchasers of tbe femout Holmdan (arm, on
Pltbole Creek, upon which wai (truck tbe
celebrated United States, Pool, Grant, and
finer flowing Weill of great notoriety
These gentlemen amassed prinealy fortunes
from tbe Und Intereit of that firm In re
ceipts from the oil . produced, sod finally'
from tbe sale of, tbe land Interest to a Chi
cago company for tbe fabulous sum of one
and a half mll'ion dollars. Botb geoilemen
were In 111 health at that time, and steadily
but surely Ibat mortal soli has grown weak
er, until a abort time since from a distant
land, thousands of miles ftooi tbe ''dear eld
borne" aod home friends and kindred, came
tbe sad announcement of tbe death of Mr. :
Denean. Scarcely bad bis remains been
deposited In their final resting place, when
tbe sorrowful Intelligence comes to us an
nouncing the death of George C. Pratber,
and bringing aadnest and mourning to a
large circle of friends and relatives.
In nearly every respect Mr. Pratber was
a model and exemplary man. Young, ex
traordinarily energetic, with no confirmed
habits, and strictly mersl, be fougbt tbe
battle of life nobly from poverty to wealth
without, blemish of character, and It can be
truly said vA good ojau, a faithful trlaod,
and an bonest upright. citizen, has passed
"over tbe dark river to the sbinlsg strand
beyond" and is at test. -''Light
be tbe turf above bit manly breast,
Ilia slumbers peaceful, undisturbed, se
rene Fast flowing tears bedew bis place of rest,
Aid loving besrts shall keep bit memory
green..'
Due notice will be given ef tbe time of
boldiog tbe funeral services. ,
