Lineville Headlight
Mr. Hallmark has been known ii the business career of our town for many years. 
His start in life was with a small store when Lineville was not known so far 
away. He was associated with Geo. Austin as partner and Assistant Postmaster a 
long time ago and then with J. D. Jeter, another Postmaster and then a Marchant. 
Mr. Jeter having just a few weeks ago preceded him in crossing tide. He was for 
a few years in business with Mr. Haynes at Oxford ad a while in Texas. When he 
came back to Lineville he clerked for Haynes Mercantile company many years, then 
for Griffin and sons for a long time. He then formed partnership with O.B. Yates 
and this firm existed several years when he went into' business at the present 
store for himself. He also has served on the council of the town and was one 
time a member of the Board of Directors at The Farmers & Merchants Bank. Quite a 
number of the older citizens speak well of their friend, saying he was always 
clean in his dealings, and that no bad repute has marred his useful career. His 
rearing was near Lineville, by the Mitchell; & Ward mill and the many friends of 
this good man are saddened at his untimely departure. The last suffering of our 
good friend and brother ended Sunday night; about 10 o'clock when tie death 
angel came down for W. W. Hallmark and carried his spirit to realm above. 
Funeral was conducted Tuesday from the Baptist Church by his pastor, the Rev. H. 
B, Woodward. Rev. Will Sprayberry and H. L. Jackson had words commendation to 
say of the good life he lived. The stores all closed out of respect for their 
fellow businessman. Acting Pallbearers, O. L. Dunn, O. B. Yates, W. E.
