He was 62 years old and had been a resident and active practicing physician and Mason of Tazewell for 40 years and by untiring energy and good business judgment had acquired a handsome livelihood for himself and family with a neat sum for his children. He leaves four children with sad hearts to mourn his going and miss his counsel. The children are all married and have beautiful homes which gave him great pleasure in his last days. Dr. Manzie, the eldest son, is at Butler, Ga. Dr. Murry and Julian are at Tazewell, and Mrs. G.W. Owen, of Columbus. No father ever was prouder of and more devoted to his children.
