BRIEF SKETCH OF A GOOD MAN
A Fitting Tribute to One of Ocala's
Honorable Citizens Who Passed
Away Yesterday.

Willis NJ. Ethridge was born
in Marion, Perry county, Ala,
June Is, 1880. Early in life he
became editor of the Southern
Enterprise at Salem, Ala, which
he successfully conducted until
the breaking out Of the late war,
in which he served as brave and
fearless soldier for four years,
never leaving the ranks during
the contest.
At the close Of the war he en-
barkcd in business al Richmond,
Dallas county, Ala, with the late
w. II. Couch, whose Son-in-law
he became, from which place in
1868 the deceased removed to
Mobile, Ala, and entered the cot
ton and commission firm of NJ. Z.
Watt q Co. Two years later he
removed to Selma. Ala and
formed business connections with
his fdther-ln-law, w. H. Couch,
in the same line he left in Mobile,
which continued until 1882, when
in company with Mr.. Couch he
came to OCala, which has been
his home to the day Of his death.
Besides embarking in trade
with his son-in-law, David Van
Pelt, he also became deeply inter-
ested in orange culture in Sumter,
now Lake county, and grew four
groves to maturity, two on Lake
Griffin, near Lady Lake, one at
Viola and another at Piccola.
He leaves a wife, three daugh-
tcrs and a young son, Marion, now
lying at deaths door. The

The life of Mr.. Ethridge was
an open book in Ocala, and one
worthy Of imitation. His rule
was to "do unto others as you
would have them do to you," and
by living up to it, he not only be-
came a successful man Of buSi-
ness, but by his prudent, thrifty
habits accumulated and left a
competency to his family, and
secured the good will and kindly
feeling Of his fellow men, as we'll
as their appreciation in the honest
and honorable manner of all his
business transactions.
With it all he was a devoted
Christian and Il consistent menu
ber of the Christian church, IN
which religious edifice the burial
services were held this afternoon.
To the sorrowlng the sympa-
thy Of the community goes out,
and the regret that SO good a
man has gone out from among us
Is universal.
