Cleveland county lost one of it's pioneers early Friday morning when W. A. Garner, prominent farmer of Saline township passed away at his home.

He has been in good health until about two weeks before his death when he became ill one night after retiring. Little hope for his recovery was held though everything that his family and friends could do to make him as comfortable as possible was done.

Uncle Billy, as he was usually known had a wide circle of friends having spent the greater part of his seventy five years in this section of the county where he was known as an honest man. He was held in the highest esteem by all who knew him. He was known as an even-tempered, generous, kind, Christian gentleman. THose who knew him have naught but the highest praise of Mr. Garner as a friend and neighbor.

He is survived by one brother, Lige Garner, four children, Hampton, Cora, and Mrs. C. L. Findley of Kingsland, Fred Garner of Fordyce, one step-son C. L. Cheshier of Kingsland, a number of grandchildren and nephews.

Funeral services were conducted Saturday by the Rev. O. W. Sharpe of Sheridan and the body laid to rest in the Canady cemetery near his home
