Mr. W.C. Willis Died of Pneumonia Tuesday

Good Citizen and Prosperous Farmer of Howard District Died Tuesday Night After
Brief Illness

In the death of Mr. W.C. Willis Tuesday night about 10 o’clock at his home three
miles north of Howard, marks the passing of another of the county’s most
prominent citizens and whose death will be deeply mourned by many friends.

Mr. Willis was stricken Friday night of last week with pneumonia and grew
rapidly worse until the end came Tuesday night.

He was always in the lead in any movement which tended to the betterment and
uplift of his community, and was an enthusiastic church worker, being liberal in
all charitable cases.  He was a consistent member of the Methodist church at
Howard.

Mr. Willis was 45 years old, a son of Mr. and Mrs. B.W. Willis, of this county.
 Several years ago he was married to Miss Dickey, daughter of Dr. J.T. Dickey,
of Howard, and of this union there are two sons and one daughter, who with his
wife survive him.

It is indeed sad to give up one of our friends who was of his disposition.  His
death has brought the bitter cup of sorrow to the lips of many friends and
relatives.  We will miss his kindly smile and friendly greeting and long to feel
his genial presence, but will bow in humble submission to the will of the All
Wise Father, who knoweth and doeth all things best.

The funeral and interment was at Wesley church yesterday afternoon, an unusually
large crowd attending the funeral which was conducted by Rev. L.A. Harrell.
