THE MARYVILLE RECORD June 10, 1904
Friday, June 10, 1904



Aunt Lucinda Everett died Thursday afternoon from old age. She lived on the

Sevierville Road, two miles east of here. For some time she had been declining

and just died from old age, or general debility, without any particular

ailment.



A small boy of Dart Hunt near Louisville was burned by an exploding lamp

Monday evening and so badly injured that he died from the burns.



Elijah George died Wednesday morning from typhoid fever after an illness of

several weeks. He was twenty-eight years old, and for the past seven and one-

half years had been employed in Herman Rueter’s bakery as baker and general

assistant. He was an industrious and honest young man as is shown by his

holding the one place so long. The funeral services were conducted by Rev.

Leeper at the A.M.E. Church and the remains laid to rest in the Methodist Hill

Cemetery, Thursday.



At the advanced age of 78, after a lingering illness of two years, Mrs. S.T.

Post departed this life on June 3, and was buried in Saturday in Maryville

Cemetery. She was for many years a consistent and active member of the Society

of Friends. Funeral services were conducted at the home by the Rev. George D.

McCulloch, D.D., and were attended by a large number of friends who showed

this last affectionate tribute to one who has been a respected resident of

Maryville for nearly 21 years. In Dr. McCulloch’s remarks suitable and tender

reference was made to the many virtues and excellencies of the Christian

character of the departed and lessons of resignation were drawn from the text

“Thy will be done.” A quartet consisting of Miss. Annie Magill, Mrs. David

Young, Mr. John M. Clark and Dr. J.A. McCulloch furnished sweet music, singing

some of the best loved and most appropriate hymns. A large circle of friends

unite in extending sympathy to the aged husband, S.T. Post, and to his

children, Mr. F.H. Post and Mrs. R.W. Barton of Knoxville, Mrs. L. VanFossen

of Dunsmuir, California and Mrs. Herman Goff of this place. Other relatives in

the north and west and in Maryville also are left to mourn her loss.



According to the Johnson City Staff, James Whitehead, aged 97, has with the

aid of his sons, killed 125 bears during his lifetime.



Mrs. Jack Clark (colored) living north of town died Tuesday. She was one of

the finest of the old regime of colored people in this community. She had

attained a great age.



A True Man Is Gone---The death of E.E. Kidd, or “Ed” Kidd as he was familiarly

called, caused the writer true heartfelt sorrow, because in said death, we

lost one of the warmest and truest of personal friends. With a close

acquaintance extending through nearly two score years, estimate of him is that

he was a very superior character. Altogether, I was his pastor and Presiding

Elder for more than a decade of years, during which time I often shared the

kindness and hospitality of his house. And now that “Ed” sleeps under the

flowers, these visits come back to me as a most delightful memory, and causing

serious reflection. Mrs. Mary Swan, wife of Sam Swan died Thursday, and her

remains were interred Friday at the Louisville Cemetery. She was a good woman

and leaves many relatives and friends to mourn her loss.
