THE MARYVILLE RECORD March 31, 1905
Friday, March 31, 1905



Bank---On Sunday morning, March 5, 1905, the dark-winged angel of death

entered the home of our brother, C.C. Haggard, and claimed as its victim their

second son, Wallace. Little Wallace had just passed through the lane of life

of eleven summers and during so short a period of life he had attained the

respect and admiration of old and young, and quit the walks of this life

bearing the name of a good boy. He was the pride of his parents, and no doubt

his parents had looked forward with interest to his future welfare. He was the

companion and pleasure of his brothers and sisters and a welcome playmate with

neighbor’s children. Little Wallace will not only be missed by his parents and

little brothers and sisters, but also by his Sunday School teacher to whom he

was a devoted scholar. But just at the time when the parents thought they

could not do without this dear boy, God saw fit to remove him from earth to

Heaven where all will be joy and happiness. We can only say with the Psalmist

David, “We cannot bring him back, but we can go to him.”   W.C. Harris, A.M.

DeLozier, G.P. Jeffries.



Died In California---Mrs. May Farmer, wife of Joseph Farmer, died in

California Thursday of last week and was brought to Wildwood for burial, the

funeral being held Thursday. She was a daughter of W.W. Goddard and had been

in California a couple of years. She leaves a child about a year old and her

husband.



Died Suddenly---Mrs. Robertson, a widow who lived near the college in south

town, died Wednesday and was buried in the Harmony Cemetery in Knox County

Thursday. She had been ailing for some time but was not thought to be in

serious condition, and had only recently let the contract for building a house

for herself.



Bart Lillard, a young colored man who graduated from Maryville College years

ago, and had since been studying in Germany, died Thursday night of

consumption. He was a brilliant scholar and was doing well in Germany when

seized with consumption. He came home a couple of months ago and declined

rapidly.



Joseph Frye was born in Shenandoah County, Virginia, March 22, 1839, and died

at his home in Maryville, Tennessee, March 25, 1905, aged 66 years and 3 days.

During the first year of the Civil War he came to Sullivan County, in upper

East Tennessee, and there was married to Miss. Susan White. To this union

three children were born, one daughter and two sons. The two sons survive him

and were present at his last illness. From Sullivan County he came to Blount

County, in 1870, and has remained a resident of this county ever since, except

two years spent in Monroe County. His first companion died August 19, 1881,

and he was married about two years later to Miss. Jennie O. Hill from Ohio.

Three children were given to this union, all of whom survive him. His second

companion died September 1, 1893, and he married for a third time on April 3,

1895, this time to Miss. Katie Ashley of Charleston, Bradley County,

Tennessee. His third companion, four sons and one daughter survive him. In

early life, while yet in Virginia he became religious, and joined the German

Baptist Brethern, better known as Dunkards. He was a deacon in this church

most of his religious life and died a member of Oakland Church, six miles

below Maryville. He was not only a church member, but a religious man and

lived to see most of his children in the church and his oldest son a minister

in the church of his choice. His occupation was that of farmer and carpenter

and he was fond of music and flowers. He was an honest man and of even temper.

The funeral services were held Sunday afternoon by Rev. B.M. Martin, assisted

by Dr. S.T. Wilson and Rev. Samuel Haworth, and Rev. Klepper of Big Springs,

and the remains were laid to rest in Magnolia Cemetery.
