This young man was just entering his 20th year and was a fine, manly fellow, handsome, genial, and deservedly popular. A bright and promising future was beckoning him onward when he was summoned to the great beyond. Richard Monfort was born and reared in this community. About two years ago he became a member of the Baptist church in this city. He was a ray of sunshine in any circle in which he entered and was well and favorably known for his many noble qualities. He was the son of Hon. O.T. Monfort, Clerk of Taylor Superior Court, and besides his devoted mother and father leaves several brothers and sisters to mourn his death. He was buried today at 10 o’clock amidst a large concourse of friends and relatives at the Butler cemetery in the family burial place. The many beautiful and appropriate floral tributes gave eloquent testimony of the high esteem in which he was held. Only one month ago the young and accomplished sister of this young man, Miss Amy Baker Monfort, was buried at this place.
