AGED BURLESON CITIZEN BURIED

  The many friends of L. W. (Wash) Bloxom, aged 75, will be grieved to learn of 
his death on January 31.
  Mr. Bloxom was a pioneer citizen of Navarro and Freestone counties. He was one 
of our best citizens and held the love and respect of all that knew him. He joined 
the Missionary Baptist Church at the age of 14 years and was made a deacon at the 
age of 38, and has been a member of Caney Baptist Church in Burleson community 
since 1915.
  Mr. Bloxom was the father of eight children, 2 boys died in Infancy; 6 survive 
him, four boys and two girls. Our deepest sympathy goes out to the bereaved children 
and other relatives and his host of friends. He will be greatly missed in the 
church and the community, but the Lord called, and Bro. Bloxom was ready for the 
summons. His body was laid to rest in Woodland cemetery on February 1. R. L. 
Ryburn conducted the funeral services.
