THORNSBERRY, John - {from Lowell} Uncle John Thornsberry died at his home east of Lowell Friday morning. He was buried at the McDaniel cemetery Saturday afternoon, Dr. Greene conducting the services. He leaves an aged mother, a wife and several brothers and sisters to mourn their loss. He had suffered for some time with the dreaded disease, consumption, so his death was not unexpected. He said he was not afraid to die and died in the triumphs of a living faith. Scarce had we heard of his death until the news came that Mr. Looney, commonly known as "Uncle Billie," was dead. He died Friday morning. He had not suffered as did Mr. Thornsberry but was taken away very suddenly. He was in town Monday and took pneumonia and died in a short time. The remains were interred at Goad Springs Saturday afternoon, Dr. Greene conducting the services, going directly from there to the McDaniel cemetery. Mr. Looney leaves a wife and three children, Mrs. Marion Shaddox, Jane Looney and one son, Dave, besides many friends.
