David Muir

Mr. David Muir died quite suddenly last Monday morning of swamp
fever at his residence at Villa Vista. He had been having chills
for some time  past, but nothing of a serious nature was anticipated
when he was taken suddenly very sick and passed away after a very
short illness. In the death of Mr. Muir the parish loses one of its
most valued citizens. A native of Scotland, he has liced here for
a long number of years, and has been identified with the interests
of the people during this entire time. Rev. H.W. Knickerbocker
was telegraphed for to preform the burial ceremony, which took
place the following Tuesday at 12 o'clock. Mrs. Muir left a few 
days afterwards to join her daughter, Miss Tizzie, in Chattanooga,
Tenn, who, at the time knew nothing of her fathers death. An
outline of Mr. Muirs life will appear next week.

The family has the sincere sympathy of the Banner-Democrat in their
bereavement.
