Uncle Sol Lockett Yields To Death

Prominent Citizen Of Reynolds Passed Away After Long Illness

Mr. S.H. Lockett, a life long citizen of Taylor County, while engaged in his 
office in Reynolds last Thursday afternoon at one o’clock was stricken very 
suddenly and died before medical aid could be summoned.  While Mr. Lockett had 
for a long time been in a feeble state of health, yet he appeared to be 
stronger and more hopeful during the last few days of his life.

For a number of years Mr. Lockett was prominent in the agricultural and 
business interest of the county, was a soldier in the Confederate army who 
evidenced his loyalty to the cause by undaunting courage and unyielding 
patriotism.  He was a man of undoubted veracity and untarnished honor, a Mason 
true and tried.

The funeral service took place from the home of his daughter, Mrs. J.A. 
Matthews Friday afternoon conducted by Rev. E.W. Anderson, assisted by Rev. 
J.T. Adams, at the conclusion of which the Masons of Reynolds and Butler 
together took charge of the remains and conducted them to the Corbin cemetery, 
where in the presence of a large concourse of people, where the body of this 
honored citizen was duly interred with Masonic honors.  At the request of E.W. 
Marshall, W.M., of Burns Lodge No. 56, Rev. J.T. Adams, of Butler, presided 
over this emergent Lodge, the pall bearers:  Hon. O.T. Montfort, Prof. A.S. 
Wallace, of Butler, W.M. Musselwhite, J.T. Lucas and W.I. Powell who were 
lifelong friends of the deceased.  Dr. Porter, Col. W.E. Steed, Messrs. C.E. 
Benns and J.J. McCants, Jr., also of Butler attended the funeral services.

Mr. Lockett is survived by two daughters, Mrs. J.A. Matthews, of Reynolds and 
Miss Emma Lockett, of Macon, and two sons, Messrs. Robert and James Lockett.
