TAZEWELL-Died in New York
Sunday, March %, '96 at a. M, Wal
ter q. Tazewell, after a lingering i'll
ness. His remains were brought TO
this city accompanied by his wife,
mother and brother. The funeral took
place from gthe Fifth Street Baptist
Church, Friday, March 9th at 80 o.
m. There were present at the last sad
ceremony many friends of his boy
hood days and of the family. Rev.
Graham the pastor preached from the
text, "Man dieth and wasteth away -
He described the life of the deceased
wildly and exhorted his hearers to re-
member their Creator in the days OF
their youth. The floral designs were
numerous. We expect the sun to go
down in the evening, we expect the
flower to fade in the fall. we expect
the streams to be frozen in winter.
But when the sun goes down at mid
day, and the flower wither in the sum-
mer and the stream of life is frozen be-
fore the chill of old age comes upon it.
1t is sad.
The following were pall-bearers,
honorary, W. Samuel Price; active :
