(Jeffersonian Staff Correspondence)
    Mt. Washington, Ky., - Frank Carrithers Porter fell asleep August 7, at 3:30 P.M.  For 
more than a year he had been in failing health, but only about two weeks ago his condition 
became serious enough to cause his family to feel there was any decided change for the 
worse, and he seemed to rally again until last Friday when he showed a bodily weakness more 
severe than was noticeable before, but on Saturday seemed stronger.  Sunday, he again
weakened and from then gradually failed until death came. He was unable to withstand much 
suffering, owing to a weak heart.  Mr. Porter was a splendid man with many friends; his was 
a splendid character, strong, steady and reliable; one of the best of neighbors, a devoted 
father and loving, faithful husband.  Few homes can be found as congenial and loving as 
theirs.. Sons and daughters always giving their love and service to these parents, who were 
just as unselfish in their devotion to their children.  He leaves a sad and darkened home 
that only time and God's mercy can lighten, and we know that when the shock of his going 
away is softened,they will all feel the Saviour's protecting care, and be able to leave 
everything to Him.  Mr. Porter would have been 69 the 18th of this month.  He leaves his 
wife, Mrs. Fannie Porter, four sons, Tom, Lucian, Clarence and Walter; three daughters,
Mrs. Elizabeth Wigginton, Mrs. Aileen Smith and Miss Georgia Porter; 14 grandchildren, one 
sister, Mrs. Sallie Boston and a number of other relatives.  Funeral services were held at 
the Methodist church, Wednesday at 2 p.m. followed by interment in the local cemetery with 
Masonic honors.
