Death OF {. e.. SchOOlev.

The TIMES with the many other
friends deeply sympathize with {. j.
Schooley i'll the death of his son {.
q. SchoOley, which occurred at the
home of his father three miles south
west of town. at 9:25 O'Clock p. m.
Friday of last week. The funeral
took place Saturday and the remains
were laid to rest in Oak Hill cemetery
Saturday by the side OF his mother
who preceded him only short while
ago.
Death was due to sugar diabetes.
The deceased was 23 years of age.
and was a member of Co. b. state
guards. When the Spanish-American
war broke out young SchOOley, with
his company, enlisted in the volun-
teer service of the United States and
marched to take his stand with the
2nd regiment in the front ranks, and
remained in the ranks until mustered
out with his regiment at Albany, Ga.
When he entered the service he was a
stalwart young farmer boy weighing
40 pounds, when mustered out he
weighed but % pounds, and he re-
turned home a physical wreck. He
was taken sick while in line OF duty
and at the time of his death had been
sick nearly twenty months.
Mr.. Schooley is one of our most re-
spected citizens and surely in the past
year he has had more than his share
of sorrow Losing his devoted wife
and now his beloved
son.
