MR. M.F. USSERY DIED LAST EVE IN DENISON, TEXAS

The Leader regrets to learn of the death of Mr. Millard F. Ussery, which 
occurred at 7:30 last night at the home of his son, Mr. C. J. Ussery in 
Denison, Texas. The remains will be shipped to Roanoke, arriving over the 
A.B. & A. Thursday night, it is thought, and interment will be in Wedowee 
after funeral services at 10 o'clock at the Baptist church where the 
deceased long held his membership.

Mr. Ussery ws born in Bacon Level beat this county, nearly 68 years ago. He 
is a brother of Mr. W.F. Ussery and father of Mrs. M.M. Mashburn and Mr. Roy 
M. Ussery of this city. Other children are Messrs. C.J. and Fred Ussery of 
Denison, Texas, Mrs. A.D. Ayres of Tampa, Fla., and Mrs. J.D. Stuckey of 
Birmingham.

Mr. Ussery was one of the most prominent and popular citizens of Randolph 
county in the days of his prime. He served very acceptably as tax collector 
for thirteen years. He moved from this county to Clay county seven years 
ago, residing awhile in Lineville and Ashland. Two years ago he went to make 
his home with his son in Texas. He had been in feeble health for more than a 
year.

Many friends of this genial gentleman will be pained to learn of his demise. 
He was possessed of those kindly qualities and noble traits that drew men to 
him and held their esteem.

WEDOWEE News

Oct. 27th

Wedowee was very much shocked last Wednesday when the sad news reached here 
that Mr. M.F. Ussery was dead. Mr. Ussery lived in Wedowee for many years 
and all who knew him were his friends. The writer was his nearest neighbor 
for many years. I never lived by a better one. He was always ready to do the 
right thing. May God's richest blessings rest on his children.
