We are pained to learn that Dr. L. Larche, an old and estimable citizen, died at his residence near Downsville, last week. Dr. Larche was one of the pioneer settlers of this section of the State, and his upright course of life united with his other admirable qualities as a citizen, had endeared him to the people of his acquaintance. He raised a large family of children who proved an honor to him in his declining years. His demise has caused a feeling of depression throughout the entire community. Requiescat in peace. - Record."
