THE MARYVILLE RECORD April 15, 1904
Friday, April 15, 1904



L.P. McNeilly, son of J.T. McNeilly of Miller’s Cove, who recently returned

from army services, died Thursday after a brief illness with consumption.



Friday, April 22, 1904



Mrs. Hester Irwin Eagleton, died April 19 at the age of 61 years. She was

married to Mr. John Eagleton some 20 years ago by Rev. P.H. Henry. She has

struggled with poor health for many years and finally died from consumption.

She was an earnest Christian, a kind, faithful wife and left a good record

behind when she entered into rest. The funeral services were conducted on

Tuesday, 2 P.M. at Clark’s Chapel by Dr. George D. McCulloch and Rev. P.H.

Henry. A large congregation of friends were present. A general sympathy is

felt for Mr. Eagleton, who, though improving, was not able to attend the

funeral.



Viola, oldest daughter of Rev. J.T. Reagan of Earl Park, Indiana, died

Wednesday after a short illness with inflammatory  rheumatism. She was about

eighteen years old. The remains are to be brought to this city for burial

Friday morning. The young lady had but recently recovered from a siege of

scarlet fever and this left her so weakened that she could not resist the

inroads of the rheumatism.



I.T. Nuchols, commonly known as Doc, died suddenly Monday noon at his home

near Block House. He had been here in town in the forenoon and soon after

returning home, dropped dead from heart trouble. He was about 64 years old and

was one of the substantial citizens of the county. He was a Confederate

veteran of the Civil War. Burial Tuesday in the Piney Grove Cemetery.



William, son of J.D. Howard of near Brick Mill, died Sunday. He was in school

at the college here and took the measles. On this account he went home but

soon returned, suffered a relapse and had to quit again, and from the

consequences of his last illness died last Sunday.



Capt. Pate and about twenty members of the militia went to Miller’s Cove last

Friday to take part in the funeral of L.T. McNealy, formerly of the U.S.

Regular Army, whose last wish was that he be buried with military honors.



Bank---Jackson Wehunt, an aged and respected citizen and a veteran of the

sixties, died this week.



Louisville---A telegram was reached a few days ago by the relatives of Babe

Bussell, colored, stating that he had died from small pox in the city of

Cincinnati. It will be remembered that he shot the guard and escaped from the

Maryville jail a few months ago, and has been hiding from justice since that

time.
