MAJOR CROSSLAND BURIED.
  The funeral of Major W. A. Crossland who died early Friday morning 
after a prolonged illness, took place yesterday morning at 10 o'clock 
from his late residence, 617 South Hull street, and was largely 
attended.
  The love and esteem in which this splendid gentleman was held by 
many friends in Montgomery was evidenced by an abundance of beautiful 
flowers that decked the bier.
  Major Crossland was a Confederate veteran and a prominent member of 
the Knights of Pythias. He was 72 years old, the greater part of which 
time, he had lived in Montgomery.
  Rev. J. A. Rice, pastor of the Court Street Methodist Church, 
officiated. The following gentlemen acted as pallbearers: - Robert 
Tait, John Cook, W. P. Carter, V. M. Elmore, J. B. Collier, J. W. A. 
Sanford, E. W. S??y and George Stuart. - Interment was made in Oakwood 
Cemetery.

  The above was taken from the Montgomery Advertiser of Sunday. The 
many friends of Mr. Crossland in Camden and Wilcox County, will be 
pained to hear of his death. He lived here many years and was well 
known and highly esteemed.
