West, of Berrys, one of Polk’s most highly esteemed citizens, died Thursday morning after a prolonged illness, aged 73 years. He was a member of one of Polk’s oldest and best families, and had a host of friends who sincerely mourn his death. Mr. West was a devoted member of the Baptist church, and the funeral services Friday at Shiloh were largely attended. They were conducted by Revs. C.W. Pope and J.W. Thompson. He was the Justice of the Peace in his district, a member of Caledonia Lodge, F. & A. M., and was a man who delighted in helping others. Surviving him are his wife, who was Miss Rhoda Lawson; two daughters, Mesdames Joel Herndon and Jack Hackney; and four sons, Messrs. Rupert, Joe, Ben and Lawson West. The bereaved family have much sympathy in the loss of this excellent husband and father, a loss that is shared by his church and community and by the county at large.
