Friday morning while guarding prisoners at the county quarry on Rocky Ridge,

taking effect in his breast and killing him instantly. Word was at once sent

The body was at once brought to town and taken to (W.B.) Lawrence’s

undertaking establishment and later removed to the home of the deceased. The

funeral services were conducted Saturday afternoon under the auspices of the

Masonic and Junior Order fraternities of which he was a member, and the body

laid to rest in Magnolia Cemetery.

known farmer of the north-east part of the county and was about seventy years

old.
