Ashland Progress
Last Saturday at 12 o'clock, Mr. Henry Mattox of the Ashland Drug Co, breathed 
his last at the home of Mr. W. Z. Alexander. Mr. Mattox had been quite ill for 
several weeks with on acute to attack of pneumonia. His condition had been 
considered serious for several days. The end came quietly and peacefully 
Saturday at noon. Mr. Mattox was a young man of many good traits of character. 
He was born in this county near Gibsonville twenty-five years ago. Most of his 
life he spent there with his mother. As a boy he was quiet and studious. He was 
ever gentle and obedient to his mother and family. When he reached maturity, he 
enlisted in the U S Army in the hospital service and was located at San 
Francisco Cal. During his stay in the army Mr. Mattox was several times promoted 
and his salary raised. He was honorably discharged on the 7th of last January 
and came home immediately. He then bought a third interest in the Ashland Drug 
Co and had just settled down for a business career. About four weeks ago he was 
taken desperately sick, and nothing seemed to stay the ravages of the disease. 
As a son, as a soldier, as a businessman. Mr. Mattox was attentive to every duty 
and courteous and gentle to all. About five years ago Mr. Mattox professed faith 
in Christ and joined Mt Moriah Methodist church, He remained as a steadfast and 
devoted member of this church and was a faithful Christian. Cut down in the very 
prime of his manhood, his death to us is indeed sad; but our loss is his train. 
We commend his loved ones to the great Creator. The burial service occurred. 
from Sardis church near Gibsonville, and his body was laid to rest in the 
cemetery nearby.
