the passing of Henry Randall at his home in Bayard some time since the relatives not only lose a kind, considerate husband, father, son and brother, but this community also loses an honest, upright citizen. Mr. Randall came here about 1890, when this country had little to offer and from that time on played a man's part. He went into the cattle business and by care and thrift, laid up a good portion of this world's goods, later taking up farming.
