DEATH OF J.L. GRESHAM OCCURRED OCTOBER 30th

The death of Mr. J.L. Gresham occurred at the home of his daughter Mrs. Joe 
Allen in this city about six o'clock Tuesday morning, Oct. 30th.  Mr. Gresham 
who was in his 79th year, had been in feeble health for several years. The 
remains were carried this morning to his old home in Glenn, Georgia where 
interment was made, after funeral services conducted by Rev. T.L. McDonald.

Mr. Gresham was a member of the Methodist church the greater part of his adult 
life and was at all times a humble, devout christian, who enjoyed the 
confidence and love of those who knew him. In early manhood, he moved to 
Roanoke from Heard county, Georgia and was made superintendent of the 
Methodist Sunday school in this place when it was organized. In about a year 
and a half he moved back to Georgia but came to Roanoke with his devoted wife 
several years ago to spend his declining years in this place. The wife and 
several children live to mourn the loss and treasure the memory of this good 
husband and father, while many who knew him will rise up and call him blessed.
