Lee Rix, highly respected colored man of Marshall, passed away at his home
on the W. H. Morrow lot Friday morning.  He had been in declining health for
some time and his passing was not unexpected.  He had been a servant in the
W. H. Morrow home for the last twenty-seven years, trusted, trustworthy, and
faithful.  His going was felt almost as much as if a member of the family
had gone.
Funeral services were Saturday afternoon at two o'clock, in the yard of the
Morrow home, conducted by Rev. Pettoway, of Asheville, pastor of the church
of the colored people at Marshall, Ponder's Chapel, assisted by Rev. Wm. C.
Bount [Blount?], of the Marshall Baptist church.  The service was conducted
in a dignified manner, and both ministers paid the deceased a beautiful
tribute.
Practically all the colored people of the community and a large assembly of
white people attended the last rites of the deceased.
