The funeral of Mr. Felix G. Ives, who was found dead last Friday evening on his 
farm, near the Old Milldam Bridge, in the county, took place Sunday afternoon at 
2:30 o'clock from the Main Street Christian Church and was largely attended.  
The services were conducted by the pastor, Rev. M.W. Butler.  Rev. Mr. Butler 
stated that no one was present when the end came to the deceased but God and 
took for his text a part of the twentieth verse of the sixth chapter of John: 
"It is I, be not afraid."  From these words Rev. Mr. Butler preached a most 
eloquent and appropriate sermon.  He concluded his sermon by eulogizing the 
deceased's character and record, speaking in the highest praise of him.  The 
following gentlemen acted as pall-bearers:  Messrs. John A. Morgan, Albert 
Pariott, George Parker, George H. Lacy, O.M. Lynch and L. Wingfield, Niemeyer 
Show Camp, C.V.: L Godwin and T.B. Jackson, citizens.  Interment was made in
