Mr. R.S. Thornton Answers Call of Master Wedn'day
   Early last Wednesday morning just as the clock was tolling its chimes
for six o'clock.  Mr. Robert S. Thornton of Bogart closed his eyes to
rest in peace until his Master calls him from slumber to a higher
resting place, a place where there is no pain.  Mr. Thornton had
suffered and bore his pains without a murmur.  He was prepared to meet
his Master.  He was in his 91st year.  Early in manhood he joined the
church and had always been a true chritian (sic) believing and trusting
in the Lord.
   Mr. Thornton had been a resident of Bogart for a long number of years. 
He was a member of Amity Lodge No. 427 F.&A.M., where he had been a
member for a number of years.  He is survived by four daughters, Mrs.
A.S. Willingham, Mrs. J.A. Hale, Mrs. D.W. Dean and Miss Clara
Thornton; and two sons, Mr. H.A. Thornton, of our town and Mr. T.E.
Thornton of Greene county, and a score of other relatives.  His
nephews, Messrs L.C. Dean, J.R. Dean, R.L. Hale, Harry Thornton, Earle
Thornton and R.C. Willingham were pall bearers.  The funeral was
conducted from the Bethabara Baptist church Thursday morning at eleven
o'clock by Rev. Willie Saye.  After the funeral services the Masonic
body held the last sad rites and conducted his body to the last resting
place.
   The Enterprise extends sympathy to the bereaved family and loved ones
in the death of this good man.
