D. PURSER On the night of November 23, at his residence, some ten mils north of Hamilton, WILLIAM D. PURSER died in his 35th year. He leaves a wife and three children besides numerous relatives and friends to mourn his loss. Mr. PURSER was a brother-in-law to Judge FORD, having married his youngest sister. He was a worthy member of Hackleburg lodge of Masons, and was to have been buried on last Monday at New Hope Church with Masonic honors, but owing to the inclemency of the weather the Masonic ceremonies were postponed and the body was consigned to the grave by his many friends. His funeral will be preached and the Masonic rites of burial will be awarded his memory at some future day. Mr. PURSER was a good man, and was well liked by all who knew him. His early demise is much regretted, and his neighbors all join with his devoted wife, children and many relatives and friends in mourning his untimely death.
