Danielsville Monitor, 10 Apr 1914
       Mr. Porterfield Dies

   At 5:30 o'clock, this morning, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. W. F. 
Cunningham, on Spring Street, Mr. E. Porterfield passed away.  His death had 
been expected for several days and was caused from a carbuncle on the back of 
the head or neck.

   Mr. Porterfield was a citizen of Madison county for years, moving to 
Royston only a few months ago.  He was quite well known throughout this 
section, and had hundreds of friends who mourn his loss today.

   It was our good fortune to have known "Uncle Eph" for a good many years, 
and we know him only to like him the more, he was of such a cheerful 
disposition.  But his jovial laughter, his kindly smile and cheerful greeting 
will be no more on this earth; he has been called away after a life of most 
three score and ten.

   Mr. Porterfiedld was the father of four living children:  Mrs. W. F. 
Cunningham, and Mr. C. E. Porterfield of this city and Messrs. W. R. and N. J. 
Porterfield of Comer.

   The interment will take place at the family burying ground in Madison 
county tomorrow morning.
