J.F. Wilder Dead

Jas. F. Wilder died at his home in Griffin last Sunday of fever. He had
been ill with fever for several weeks.

His body was brought to Zebulon on Monday for interment. The funeral
sermon was preached to an immense congregation at the Baptist church by
Rev. C.W. Oliver.

Mr. Wilder was operating a blacksmith shop in Griffin at the time of his
death.

He was a former citizen of this place. While living here he won a warm
place in the hearts of the people by his gentlemanly conduct and
especially by his devotion to the sick. He was a good nurse and never
tired of sitting patiently by the bedside of a sufferer.

The death of such a man as Mr. Wilder is a great loss to any community.

He leaves an invalid wife and five children. They will be helped along
in life, however, by $2000 insurance which Mr. Wilder was prudent enough
to carry on his life.

To the bereaved relatives, The Journal extends heartiest sympathy.
