Willard G. Nash, the vetem newspape r man and commercial traveler of Logans, port, died at hie sumner home in Maine Thuisday of last week and was buried at Logansport Sunday. He served his apprent ioeship at printing with his brother-in-law, the late 8. A. Hall, founder of the Logansport Pharos ' He was a popular man; while serving his country as a member of the Forty-sixth Indiana Regiment was nominated for sheriff of Cass county by the Democrats and elected without opposition. He served two terms as sneriff, and in 1866 was elected county auditor. The Logansport Pharos truthfully and feelingly says of him: ‘Death ola med a brave, genial and upright man in the person of Willara G. Nash. He was Coss county’s most popular citizen and at one time possessed the friendship of a wider circle of acquaintances among all classes than any man within its boundaries. ***** “His first oare was for his home and family, and yet ho found opportunities every day to make others outs ice the family circle happier and better. There was geniality in his smile and a heartiness in his hand-shak<; that dispelled p loom. He was an industrious man, and was happiest when busiest. He had met with the reverses incident to a business career, but was never cast do wn by despondency. He was a man of firm convictions and great decision of character. He was, however, tolerant in bis views and charitable towards those who differed with him. Altho’ cut short of the allotted time. Willard Nash’s life was a success. He lived not wholly for himself and the world is better for his having lived in it, because his firesence made it brighter and better. He eaves n good name—a character above reproach The thoughts of many men will be centered towards these characteristics as the inanimate form of abelo«ed fellow being is transferred to its last resting place. Peace to his ashes.” He was in his sixty-first year.
