Dowdell, age 74, former Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, died at his home in LaFayette shortly after dark Tuesday evening, June 28th, from illness with which he has been afflicted for the past several months. His condition has been gradually growing worse several weeks. Judge Dowdell, who before moving to LaFayette, was a resident of Opelika, has many relatives in this city. Mrs. Render W. Dowdell is his daughter-in-law, and little Render, the son, is a grandson of the jurist. Judge Dowdell first went upon the supreme court bench as an associate justice in 1898, serving continuously in that capacity until his promotion to the chief justiceship of the court, from which office he retired to private life in 1914, at which time he was succeeded by Judge John C. Anderson. Judge Dowdell was born near LaFayette on April 2, 1847. He entered the Confederate Navy as a Cadet in 1865. After the war he completed his education, graduating at both the University and A.P.I. at Auburn. He was admitted to the bar in 1870 and engaged in the practice at LaFayette. He was solicitor of the 9th Judicial Circuit from 1876 to 1880 and Judge of the 5th Judicial Circuit from 1888 to 1892, was Chancellor of the Northeastern Division from 1896 to 1898 and in the later year was elected as associate justice.

It seems that where Mr. Young was boarding, in a room near him there were two young men and a lady. The two young men became involved in a dispute, one of them being a good friend of Young. He ran in to settle the difficulty and by doing so, he was shot through the lungs accidentally. Mr. Young is the son of Jim Young who lived at Wedowee several years ago.

I think that I am safe in saying that he has not an enemy anywhere. --- NEWSPAPER Issue of Wednesday, July 13, 1921 DR. W.T. TENNANT DIED THIS MORNING AT ATLANTA HOSPITAL; To Be Buried Here Tomorrow The untimely death of Dr. W.T. Tennant Jr., which occured at six o'clock this morning at a hospital in Atlanta, will prove a shock to a host of friends of this popular young man throughout this section. Dr. Tennant was located in Manchester, Ga., when he was taken ill with appendicitis and hurried to Atlanta, where an operation was performed on Saturday. His condition was found to be desperate from the beginning. His father, Mr. W.T. Tennant Sr., went to his bedside as did his wife and his brother-in-law, Dr. Henry W. Grady. Every effort was made to prolong his young life, but in vain. The remains will be brought to Roanoke on the Central of Georgia train this afternoon. The funeral and interment will be in Roanoke at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, according to present information, but it is not known now just where the services will be held. The circumstances of this death are particularly sad. Dr. Tennant was the only son of Mr. and Mrs. W.T. Tennant and is survived by them and four sisters, also by his wife, who was Miss Stella Radney, and their two month old baby girl. He located in Manchester about a year ago to begin the practice of medicine and was making a fine record. Dr. Tennant was born and reared in Roanoke, was a young man of excellent character and of a very likable disposition, making friends of all whom he met. Early last summer he made a profession of religion and united with the First Baptist church of this city. When he went to Manchester he became identified with the Baptist church of that town but when a dissention arose in that church this spring due to local conditions, he withdrew and put his letter in the Methodist church to be with his wife. That one so young and promising should be called thus prematurely is one of the melancholy tragedies of life that cannot here be understood. But it is comforting to know that this life, though brief, has been spent as to bring blessings upon the many who knew and loved him and in the larger fields that lie beyond, the fruitage of his life and labors will doubtless be found to be abundant when He who takes account of all we do shall say at last, "well done!" ------ WEDOWEE News July 11th Wm. O. Kent, son of ex-sheriff A.J. Kent, and his family from west Texas, are visiting in Wedowee now. They were accompanied by Rev. Mr. Dixon and wife. Mrs. Dixon was formerly Miss Mae Kent, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A.J. Kent. She went to Texas six or seven years ago and made a trained nurse. Some months ago she married Mr. Dixon. Rev. Mr. Dixon was born and reared in Texas and is a minister of the Southern Methodist church. This is Mr. Dixon's first visit to this county and he expressed himself as being much delighted with it. The party came through in cars, being about seven days making the trip. ---- Last Friday evening, Dr. C.M. Gross received a telegram from his brother Cornelius Gross, at Dothan, Ala, announcing the death of the latter's wife. Saturday evening the body arrived at Roanoke and was carried to the home of Mr. Gus Gross. Sunday the body was laid to rest in the cemetery at Rocky Branch. Revs. J.H. Hester and J.C.

WEAVER DIED THURSDAY Mrs. Thomas L. Weaver died at her home in this place last Thursday morning at 3:30, surrounded by her large family circle and a few faithful friends. She had been ill for many weeks and it had become well understood that her life's work, so well done, was now nearing the end, which meant only rest and peace to the tired soul. However, this conciousness on the part of the loved ones did not minimize their feelings of loss, though serving to a degree in mitigating their sorrow. Mrs. Weaver was a lady of refined character, who left a noble impress not only upon her ten children, but also upon those of her neighbors who were so fortunate as to come within the range of her acquaintance. The Scripture text from which the minister delivered the touching funeral oration over her frail body, "Thy gentleness hath made me great", was expressive of the experience of this good woman, as she lived and labored among those with whom her mission was cast. A large company of friends bearing offerings of flowers, with words of sympathy, gathered at the home at ten thirty Friday morning to witness the funeral services which were conducted by Dr. Hines, pastor of the deceased, assisted by Mr. Orear. The interment was made in Cedarwood cemetery. ---- CARD OF THANKS Words seem empty when we try to express to the good people of Roanoke the deep appreciation in our hearts for the many kindnesses shown us during the illness and death of our dear mother. We would like to thank each individual, but since that is impossible we use this medium of our expression. We wish especially to mention the faithful and untiring attention of our neighbors and friends; the faithfulness of the physicians, also the beautiful tribute of Dr. Hines. We are not unmindful of the many sweet kindnesses shown our aged father during his residence here and while the home is broken up and we are scattered, our stay in Roanoke and the kindnesses and tender sympathy of our lovely friends will ever be a bright spot in our garden of memory. May Heaven's richest blessings rest upon you all and may we all meet around the throne of God. The Children of Mr. and Mrs. T.L. Weaver. ---- LOCAL News All the visiting members of the family of Mr. T.L. Weaver have gone.

LANE AND MISS MINNIE GREEN Many of our readers will be interested in the news of the marriage of Mr. William Pierce Lane to Miss Minnie Green, which occurred in Shawmut last Thursday afternoon.

In his better days Rufus Dudley was considered one of the most capable workmen in this city and ws well liked by those who knew him.
