mence the publication of one of the
most interesting serial stories yet

ED. REPUBLICAN —BY your last is
sue I aia pained to learn of the death
of Win. 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.
