Molyneux and while feeling inadequate to the under taking vet in memory of an intimate friend for forty years feel that a more extended notice should be given in your paper. In the death of Mr. Molyneux, one of the few links among our promi* nent business men that connected t lie entire history of our county, has been broki'U. Born and reared in this county, he, when a young man become well known among those in terested in its improvement as well as our active workers in many of the organizations frr the promotion ol the well being of society. Inherit ing from his ancestry a high type of manhood, during the long years of his business life he has fully sus tained the characteristics of the family for strict integrity and high regard far advancement of public interests. Entrusted at an early age by his father in the care of an extensive business, and after his deaJi associating himself with his brother Thomas, who, for years to gether conducted the varied busi ness enterprises at Mill view. The relation of the brothers being of that cordial and happy nature, that gave both confidence and pleasure to all who were in any way associated with tliein. Since the death of his brother Mr. Molyneux has person allv carried on the entire business. Thorough and orderly in all his habits and possessing in a high de gree the confidence of his towns men, he was called upon and re sponded to public trusts from year to year retaining important posi tions lang after the death of those who were early associated with him, and showing an unusual interest in younger men in the varied positions in which he become associated with them. For many years he was in almost constant attendance at our county courts, and probably no man outside of the profession better un derstood the legal decisions given in the different cases brought to trial in the count} ; his long experience made him one of our most useful men as a juror. Thirty-nine years ago he assisted in organizing our county agricultural society, and for many years served as treasurer. One of the first, to aid in the organi zation of the Free Soil Party, he has always been a pronounced Republi can. His time and means were freelv given to carry forward all measures that he believed would benefit society. Fond indeed comes to reuiftmberance '.lie kindly inter views with this departed friend, and feelings of sympathy are awakened for those more immediately associ ated with him. * * * -*E. G.
