WEST, James D. – Our town and people around are in much sorrow. J.D. West, one of our best citizens, a good Christian, an honorable Mason and one of those true men that offered his life for the cause of the South, died on last Sunday night and was buried Monday in the cemetery here by the Masonic fraternity. He was a member of Camp Prairie Grove, No. 384 and quite a number of his old comrades were present. Thus, one by one they pass away, and those that are left can but wait to see who will be next.
