"An Aged Citizen Gone 
    P. J. McAdory died at his home at Hanover, in this county, last 
Saturday and was buried in the cemetery at that place on Sunday 
afternoon with masonic and religious ceremonies. Rev T. O. Jones of 
Goodwater circuit conducted the religious ceremony. 
    Mr. McAdory was born in Jefferson County, Alabama, March the 10th 
1833, and was in the 77th year of his age at the time of his death, and 
has resided in Coosa county since 1858, during all of which time, he 
lived in the same house into which he moved soon after his marriage. He 
was a veteran of the war between the states having enlisted in Company 
B. 34th Alabama and served for the greater part of the war in the 
western army and was actively engaged in several of the hard fought 
battles of the war. He was a Royal Arch mason, a member of the M. E. 
church, South, in the service of which he always took an active 
interest, and was an active member of the Sunday School until the day of 
his death. 
    He leaves a widow, one sister, Mrs. Celia Slaughter, now of 
Millerville, Ala., and a large number of relatives and friends who are

"Resolution of Respect on the Death of Patrick Jasper McAdory 
    Weogufka, Ala., Feb 5, 1910, Whereas on the 8th day of January 1910, 
at 3 o'clock in the after noon, it pleased Him who controls the destiny 
of man to take from our mist our beloved brother, Patrick Jasper 
McAdory. 
    Brother McAdroy was 76 years, 9 months and 28 days old when death 
came, and had been an upright member of the masonic fraternity since he 
arrived at the age of 21 years. He was a native of Alabama, a citizen of 
Coosa county for more than a half a century, and a member of Weogufka 
Lodge No. 378 A. F. and A. M. since soon after its organization. 
    While Brother McAdory's education and qualifications fitted him for 
the more exalted station in life, he was never a seeker for places of 
honor or fame, yet his wonderful influence in the affairs of his state, 
his county, his church and his lodge will go down in our history as 
worthy of the man he was, and the noble christian character he left. 
Therefore be it resolved: 
 
1st. That in the death of Bro. McAdory this lodge has lost one of its 
oldest as well as useful members; the state and county a good citizen; 
his church and community a true brother and friend; his broken-hearted 
wife a loyal husband. 
2nd. That we bow in humble submission to the will of the Heavenly Father 
in this dispensation of His divine providence, and that while we mourn 
his loss we commend the noble life he lived as worthy of emulation.  
3rd. That we tendered the bereaved wife and relative our sincere 
sympathy in this trying ordeal. 
4th. That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of this 
lodge, also furnished the county paper for publications and a copy 
furnished to the family.
