Ingram Dies at Advanced Age Mr. Thos. E Ingram, a prominent and life-long resident of Colliers community of Lamar county, passed away Tuesday at the home of his nephew, Mr. O.W. Inram. He was 81 years of age and had been ill for several weeks. He was highly esteemed citizen of the county and during his active days was a leading farmer. Mr. Ingram is survived by two sisters, Mrs. C. R. Maddox and Mrs. Nannie Cynes, of Lamar county and a number of nieces and nephews. The funeral was conducted at the home Wednesday morning by Elder W. W. Childs and interment was in the family cemetery, the arrangement being in charge of the Bramblett Funeral Home. He never married, but upon the passing of his youngest brother, the late Benjamine Ingram, he, with his widowed sister, Mrs. Nannie Dynes, moved back to his childhood home and became a father indeed and in truth to his two nephews, O.W. and O.B. Ingram. Their interests were his and those that knew him, knew that he contributed largely to the success which has come to them. They meant eveyrthing to him and he to them, as attested by their devotion to him in his last days. Particularly was this true of his niece, Mrs. Omar Ingram, who, coming as a bride into the old home, showered her affections on him and tenderly guarded him. His niece, Miss Kate Maddox, was another favorite and will long miss him, as he was always so willing to be helpful to those who were tied to him by the bonds of affection. Although he never joined the church, he loved old Shiloh, the church of his mother and of his aunt, Mrs. Polly Harp, who was one of the charter embers, and gave of his loyalty, through the vicissitudes, which come to churches as well as to humans. Funeral, which was held at the home on Wednesday morning, brought out a representative gathering of relatives and neighbors. Elder W. W.

The Monroe Advertiser December 7, 1933 Last Rites Held for T. E. Ingram The passing of Mr. T. E. Ingram at the family home in the Johnstonville district of Lamar county of Monday, November 21st, brings much regret to the large circle of friends whom he had drawn to himself during that 81 years of his splendidly useful life. Born at the family home near the present site in 1852, Mr. Ingram had lived all his life within a stone's throw of his birthplace. Having suffered an accident in childhood, Mr. Ingram was thereafter a cripple and although he probably suffered much with this limb at times, but he was not the one to complain or become embittered.
