Further details we have not learned. William Boyd of Knoxville, son of M.C. Boyd, a former citizen of this city, died Wednesday, and the remains were brought here for burial this morning. He was about twenty-eight years old. Bro. W.A. Catlett had quite an exciting experience last Monday morning at the home of one of his parishioners. On rising he pulled his trousers on when something began to scratch and wriggle at his knee inside the trousers. A terrible shuffling and stamping on the floor and plenty of yelling soon brought his frightened host to his assistance and between them they mangaed to shake a mouse from the leg of Brother Catlett’s Sunday trousers. He cautiously examines them each morning before donning them. Springfield---Mrs. J.L. Morgan died of dropsy at her home half a mile south of here Sunday night and was buried at Trigonia Tuesday. Big Springs---Lillie White, eldest daughter of Mr. & Mrs. R.M. White, died Sabbath evening at 7 o’clock of pneumonia. The funeral took place at the church at Union Grove Monday at 3 p.m., interment in the cemetery at that place. Robert Carl Murray, son of Mr. & Mrs. E. Murray of Clover Hill, died at his home on Sunday, December 11, 1904, aged 21 years and nearly 7 months. His illness followed an attack of measles which after a few months resulted in consumption and rapidly ran its course. He was a young man of sterling qualities, respected and loved. For a number of years he was a student in Maryville College. He was engaged to teach the school near his home, but was soon compelled by failing health to resign his position. When but thirteen years of age he was received into the Clover Hill Presbyterian Church and until his death continued an active and consistent member in the church and Sabbath School. The funeral services at Clover Hill Church on December 12 were conducted by the pastor, Rev. Herman A. Goff, assisted by President S.T. Wilson D.D. Although the day was cold and disagreeable a very large congregation attended the services. Besides a large circle of relatives and friends, his father, mother and one brother are left to mourn his death.
