Otis Makepeace obituary 1894

[submitters note: I could not read the first part of this obit at all]

...as well as the fraternities to which he belonged, as mentioned above.
Beautiful flowers were contributed as follows: By the Epworth League, a
cross; by the Y.P.S.C.E., an anchor; by the Good Templars, a [illegible]; by
the young ladies of the town, a harp. Mr. MAKEPEACE was a little past
twenty-six years of age, and so far as known he had not an enemy in the
world, but was a friend to all. This consciousness will be a great
consolation to relatives in their great and sudden bereavement. His sun has
gone down before the meridian was reached, but he has left a memory of which
any young man might be proud, and one which the Review hopes all its young
friends will emulate. All who knew him mourn the loss of a dear friend, but
at the same time we feel that beyond the storms of life he is safely
anchored in the harbor of eternal rest. And feeling thus we sadly though
hopefully say farewell. Otis MAKEPEACE had life insurance in the amount of
$6,500. [submitters note: $ amount may be in error, difficult to read]
