In early infancy he removed from southern Illinois to western Iowa with his parents. A few years later the family removed to northern Illinois, and nine years ago to Indiana, whence they came to Tennessee last January. Early in July he was taken with a low fever and after several weeks he recovered, but suffered a backset twelve days before he died, with symptoms indicating malarial typhoid fever, but before these symptoms developed, brain fever set in with its agonies and finally death brought relief. Everything that kind care and medical skill could suggest, had been done for him to no avail but to relieve his suffering a little. He leaves parents, three brothers, four grandparents and numerous other relatives and friends who will greatly miss him. He was quiet, studious and industrious boy and made friends wherever he went. The funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon by Rev. B.M. Martin, assisted by Rev. H.S. Booth, and the remains were laid to rest in Magnolia Cemetery, amid a profusion of floral offerings contributed by sympathizing friends. Six school boys about his own size and age acted as pall bearers. Mrs.Mary Wallace McCully, wife of John McCully, died at her home on Tuesday, September 6, 1904, after a lingering illness, aged 43 years, and 4 months. The funeral services were at Tabor Church, of which she had been an earnest member for 21 years, were conducted by her pastor, Rev. Herman Goff, assisted by Dr. S.T. Wilson and Prof. Marston. Her fortitude and Christian faith were such as to enable her to give abundant testimony to the sustaining power of divine grace. A bereaved husband and seven children are left to mourn her loss, together with an aged mother and seven brothers and sisters. The funeral services were attended by a large number of sorrowing relatives and friends. I.B.
