Eddins. He died at 1 o’clock Wednesday morning, the 27th inst. In his death, Tuskaloosa has been deprived of one of her best citizens, and his family and friends have sustained a loss which time can never repair. The very high estimation in which Dr. Eddins was held in this community was evidenced by the unusually large concourse of citizens which attended his funeral. We had never before seen so many persons assembled on such an occasion. The Rev. A. J. Battle presented his funeral. He was buried in accordance with rights and ceremonies of the Masonic Fraternity of which Order we was a worthy and exemplary member. The Dr. having been a consistent member of the Baptist Church died, as he had lived, a Christian. We tender his afflicted family our heart felt sympathies in this sad dispensation of Providence. We hope that some friend will prepare a suitable obituary for publication in our next issue File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/al/tuscaloosa/obits/e/eddins1225gob.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.org/alfiles/ File size: 1.7 Kb
