                           DREW ALSUP DIES

  With the passing of D. S. (Drew) Alsup Tuesday morning, August 4,
another Kimble county pioneer has passed to his reward.  He suffered
a stroke of paralysis four weeks ago and was in a critical condition
until relieved by death Tuesday.  The funeral services were held at
the Junction Cemetery at six o'clock Tuesday evening with Elder Walter
W. Leamons in charge.  Judge J. B. Randolph, a friend of the deceased
for 40 years, paid tribute to the deceased with a few well chosen words.
  The following acted as pallbearers:
  J. C. Graham, Arthur Smith, Jeff Chapman, Bill Cottle, Clarence Self,
and Gene Lightfoot.
  D. S. Alsup was born in Bastrop county on Febuary 11, 1849 and came
to Kimble county 50 years ago.  He spent many years in the ranching
business in the southeastern part of the county.  Soon after coming to
this county he formed the acquaintance of Robert Real and they were
close friends throughout his long residence here.  Mr. Real was present
at the funeral Tuesday evening.
  He was married to Miss Mary McPhail in May 1868 and to this union one
daughter, Mrs. J. M. Anderson was born.  He is survived by his daughter, 
two granddaughters, Mrs. Gene Lightfoot and Mrs. Nolan Gilliam, one 
sister, Mrs. M. F. Roe, and other relatives.
  Early in life he united with the Methodist Church in Bastrop county.
  He came to Kimble county in real pioneer times and in the early days
suffered the privations of that time.  For several years he has lived
a quiet life at his home on the North Llano.
