Death of Mr. W. H. Blalock

The many friends of Mr. W. H. Blalock in Granville and 
elsewhere will read of his death with sorrow, which occurred 
Tuesday morning about 3 o’clock at his home near Culbreth. 
His health was not good for more than a year, but three 
weeks ago he was taken sick and continued to grow worse 
until death ended his suffering. Mr. Blalock was in the 
35th year of his age, and son of Mr. And Mrs. Milton Blalock, 
of Culbreth and brother of Frank Blalock and Mrs. J. F. Meadows, 
of Oxford, and Mrs. J. C. Howard of Stem. He was well and 
favorably to known in Oxford as he resided here a number of 
years and was book-keeper for Mr. Z. W. Lyon of the Johnson 
Warehouse, and was greatly esteemed by all classes of our 
people.  In early manhood he professed faith in Christ and 
joined Mt. Zion Baptist Church and lived a pious Christian 
life and his spirit is now a dweller in the upper and Better 
Kingdom. He was an affectionate husband and father, devoted 
son and brother and kind neighbor.

His death is deeply mourned by his loved ones, to all of whom 
the editor extends deepest sympathy, and especially to his 
grief stricken wife and 4 little children.

The funeral and burial took place Wednesday afternoon at Mt. 
Zion Baptist Church at Berea and largely attended by sympathizing 
friends. Dr. R. H. Marsh preached the funeral and the services 
at the grave were conducted by Oxford Lodge Woodman of the World 
of which he was an honorable member, and were of a solemn character.

The pallbearers were: Messrs. E. N. Clement, N J. Jones, J. T. 
Daniel, W. Z. Mitchell, B. R. Royster, John Haskins, J. F. White, 
and Dr. C. D. Fort, with Council & Upchurch Undertakers. ---------
