For some three weeks past he has made a brave fight for life, but day by day the inroads of disease began to tell upon his sturdy frame, and at last the brave soldier, the good citizen, the honest man, the efficient officer and the Christian gentleman went down before our last great enemy. Major Mynhier was a man who won friends and held them by the strength of his character and the fidelity of purpose which marked his entire life. He was an indulgent husband and father, who loved his home and its inmates with a love born of his own big heart. Major Mnyhier has held many offices of trust, and in them all he has conducted himself as the upright and trustworthy Christian gentleman that he was. The funeral services will take place this morning at the Christian church in this city, being conducted by Elders H.

D. Clark and B. W. Trimble. Burial in Machpelah Cemetery.
