He lived an exemplary Christian life and never was known to be guilty of any immorality. He was a very industrious and honest man, kind father and good neighbor. For one year the neighbors have feared a tragic end. He had stated that he was tired of life—that he labored hard for a long time and that it seemed of no avail, thus yielding to despondency until it seemed that reason was dethroned at times. It was plain to those who knew him that he was not responsible when taking his life.
He leaves a wife, three children, father, mother, six brothers, seven sisters, and a number of friends to mourn. These bereaved ones can confide their hopes in Him who knoweth all things, the judge of all the earth, who will do right. We would commend these dear ones to the prayers and sympathy of all Christians and especially to the loving Heavenly Father.
The funeral services were conducted in the M. E. Church by Rev. Byrd in the presence of a large and sympathizing audience from the text Psa. 90:9, after which the remains were interred in Alamo Cemetery. The relatives take this opportunity to extend their sincere thanks to the friends for their assistance and sympathy in this hour of bereavement.
