Wilcox Progressive Era, Thursday, June 13, 1907
Death of Mr. D. J. Fail, Sr.
  Our community was greatly shocked on last Thursday morning, when it was 
learned that Mr. D. J. Fail, Sr., had been stricken with a desperate illness on 
Main street. Friends with whom he had been jesting only a moment before, 
carried him tenderly to the nearby drugstore of Messrs. Foster and Jones, where 
all that skill and loving hands could do, was done for him, but death had set 
its seal upon him, and in a little more than twenty-four hours, without ever 
having regained consciousness or being able to be taken to his home nearby, his 
sunny spirit had passed to the great beyond. 
  Mr. Fail was born near Wilcox Landing in this county, Jan. 3rd, 1863. Bereft 
of a mothers' love and care almost in his infancy, and growing up in the hard 
times that followed the civil strife, with only such advantages as the home 
school gave, he yet attained to more that has fallen to the lot of many of our 
young men with far greater opportunities. Adversities and ill health for many 
years apparently made him only the more determined to succeed for his wife and 
children at home, that he might give them every comfort and luxury and fit them 
for an easier place in life's battles than had been his lot. It was in the home 
that his sunniest and best traits shone brightest. There all was gentleness and 
love.
  As can not be said of all of us, those who knew him best loved him most. He 
was the soul of honor and his word was his bond. Many are left who will miss 
his loving charity and deeds of kindness, and many hearts beat in tenderest 
love and sympathy for his bereaved family.
