Algie (Algernon) Fears Died, at his residence in Van Zandt County, Texas, October 16, 1900, Mr. Algie (Algernon) Fears. Mr. Fears had been sick with malarial fever ten weeks. He was born in Troup County, Ga., August 28, 1835, and lived the most of his life in Chambers County, Ala., near West Point, Ga. He was an affectionate husband and father, a kind neighbor, and a good and useful citizen. He proved a brave soldier when battling for his Southland, and when he returned home, at the close of the war, to gather up the remnants of his property, no man went to work with more courage to restore to his family the comforts they had lost. He was always zealous in doing good, helping to lift burdens that were too heavy, and ministering in every way to the unfortunate around him. The death of this good man is deplored by all, but through our blinding tears we try to be consoled, for his end was peace. (Written by) A. G.
