Gone to His Long Home

Died--At the residence of his son, Mr. Moscow CROFT, in this city, on the 22nd inst., at 4:28 o'clock a.m., Mr. Joshua Ingram CROFT, in the 79th year of his age. Mr. CROFT was born and reared in Christian county, and resided continuously at the place of his birth up to nine years ago when he was removed to his son's home in this city. He has suffered twenty-eight years from partial paralysis, and for past eighteen years has been as helpless as an infant. His case is the saddest we have ever known, (notwithstanding the daily ministration of his faithful wife and affectionate son through these long years of anguish, who have never seemed to tire of their unselfish devotion) yet, Job-like, he bore his sufferings patiently to the end. His remains were laid to rest in the Earlington Cemetery at 4:30 o'clock Wednesday evening. The Bee extends condolence to the bereaved ones.
