[James] P. MULDREW [28 Dec 1836--16 Jun 1911] died at his home on Rock Mills street after suffering severely for a week from a stroke of paralysis. Mr. MULDREW had been in ill health for several years, and while his death was not unexpected it was none the less grievous to the relatives and innumerable friends in this section. He was a pioneer citizen of Randolph county and a prosperous farmer, having resided with his family at the country home about six miles east of town [Roanoke] for more than a third of a century. He also served in the army of the Confederacy during the civil war. "Uncle" Jim, as he was familiarly called by almost everyone, was one of those peculiarly fascinating characters so well loved in our Southland, full of life and jollity even in his most decrepit condition of latter years, but anon a deeper philosophy of life could be learned from the good old man who had spent seventy-five years studying the problem, and truly there is no one who would be missed more in his large circle of friends and acquaintances than he will be. The interment took place at Rock Mills cemetery Saturday morning, the funeral services being conducted at the Baptist church, of which he was a member. A beautiful tribute was paid the deceased by Rev. S. L. DOBBS. Surviving Mr. MULDREW are his wife, six sons, Jas. R. [Robert, 31 Aug 1876--11 Aug 1945], Samuel G. [Green, 16 Feb 1888--10 Mar 1971], Thos. L., and Emmett H. MULDREW [15 Sep 1893--9 Jun 1984], of this place, John D. [David] MULDREW [7 Jun 1878--7 Dec 1957], of Atlanta, and George W. MULDREW [31 Oct 1883--28 Sep 1962], who resides at the country place, and one daughter, Miss Annie MULDREW, beside other relatives. --------------------------- A CARD --------------------------- We wish to express through The Leader our sincere thanks to our neighbors and friends of Roanoke and also of Rock Mills and community for the many acts of kindness, love and sympathy shown us during the sickness and death of our dear husband and father, James P. MULDREW. Also to Drs. [William Worth] STEVENSON [28 Oct 1872--28 Mar 1949] and [J. T.] STRIPLIN [21 Jan 1871--21 Jan 1925], who labored so earnestly. Each will be remembered tenderly. May God bless and save you is our prayer. Mrs. M. S. [Martha Susan] MULDREW [5 Jul 1851--11 Aug 1930] and Children. [From The Roanoke Leader (Randolph County, Alabama), 21 Jun 1911, p.1]
