Stout was born at Mound Prairie, Anderson county, December 2, 1865, and died at his home in Tyler, Texas, December 19, 1891. He was first married to Jimmie Howell at Overton, Texas, in 1884. She dying some three years ago, he was again married to Annie Brown, June 18, 1890. He professed religion at Rusk, at a meeting conducted by Burnett and Mulkey, August, 1886, and joined the M. E. Church, South. He immediately connected himself with the young men's prayer-meeting, which he attended punctually, missing but one service for twenty-three months. He then removed to Tyler, and upon the organization of the Tyler City Mission, in 1888, connected himself with it, and became its efficient class-leader and Sunday-school secretary. About a year ago he was put upon the city police force, where he did faithful service for the city up to the time he was taken sick, on his twenty-sixth birth day. He died in the faith. To the bereaved, God has said, "My grace is sufficient for thee." LACY BOONE.
