When a young man he was converted, united with the Missionary Baptist church, but last year joined the M.E. Church, South, the church to which his immediate family belongs. He left his home at Goshen the day before the date of his death to take a different course of treatment. Took supper at the home of H.H. Sanders, his son-in-law, and talked with the family and uncle, Anderson Sanders, till about 9 p.m. and died at 3 a.m. Although he had been in very poor health for the past few months his death came as a shock to his family and friends. Mrs. J.C. Mc_ of K.C., his oldest grand-daughter arrived just before they started to the cemetery but her brother, Ulmond Phillips, received the sad and unexpected news in a letter. Since his death there is a gloom over the little cottage he once called home that time never can dispel. May heaven's richest blessings rest on the bereaved family is our earnest prayer. J.F. Thornsberry, Pastor.
