of the civil war he enlisted in the confederate army and served through the 
war with distinction.  He was a Mason.

The deceased is survived by his widow, two daughters, Mr. F. M. Allen of 
Jackson and Mrs. R. J. ford of Sylvester; two sons, Mr. George s. Hanes of 
Jackson and Mr. John A. Hanes of Worth county.

The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon at 3 o’clock.  He was buried with 
Masonic honors.  After a short service at the grave conducted by Dr. Robert 
VanDeventer, pastor of the Baptist Church, the Masonic rites were carried out
