Mr. Melton Dead

Mr. Matthew Melton, whom we mentioned last week as having received a stroke of
paralysis, died Friday night at about 10 o’clock.  After the affliction came
upon him he was unconscious until the end came.  The funeral services were held
at the residence immediately after the Columbus train arrived, which were
conducted by Rev. N. R. Sanborn, pastor of the Baptist church.  The remains were
taken to Union church Saturday afternoon for burial.

Uncle Metthews [Matthews], as he was familiarly known by his friends, was one of
the oldest men in the county, and would have been 90 years of age in September.
 He formily [formerly] lived on his plantation near Union church, but about six
years ago he bought a home in Buena Vista where he lived at the time of his
death.  Mr. Melton was a member of the Baptist church and had many friends who
will regret to hear of his death.
