Eubanks and was born and reared in this county. He was a young man of fine character and was held in high esteem by all who knew him. He was a veteran of the World War, rendering heroic service throughout the war, and at home he rendered honorable service as a citizen and was beloved by a large number of friends who sustain a great loss in his death. The deceased leaves a young wife, who was Miss Grace Middleton, daughter of Mr. J. W. Middleton, of this city, and a little son, Robert, aged 18 months. Four brothers and one sister also survive him. The Enterprise joins with the many friends throughout the county in extending sympathy to the grief stricken family.
