Melson. - Mr. Solomon Melson was born in Boone Co., Mo., Dec. 15, 1815, and  
died April 15, 1892; he moved with his father to Clark Co., Ark. and settled 
at Grey's Ferry on Little Missouri river in 1816, and has been for           
seventy-five years a highly esteemed citizen, for a number of years an       
honored Mason, and for forty-five years a faithful member of the M.E.        
Church, South. By his death we loose a kind neighbor, and affectionate       
father, a wise counsellor and guide. We have often hear him say, this has    
been a happy world to me; I have always lived at peace with my fellow-man.   
He now sleeps at Ebenezer by the side of his wife and five sons. He leaves   
three children to mourn their loss, and bids them good-night, but not        
goodbye.
