B. NJ. MeadOr Dead.

Brice M. Meador, an old-time citizen of this community, passed quietly away last Thursday, Nov. 29.
 Interment was made at New Home cemetery three miles north of Green Forest, Friday afternoon.
 MT. Meador was one of the earliest settlers in this section. He came from Kentucky soon after the war and settled on farm, where he resided continuously until about two years ago. His health failing, he moved to Eureka Springs, where he and his aged wife could be associated with their two only sons, James and Jasper, merchants of that city.
 A good man passed from among us when the spirit of Brice Meador took it's, flight. No more harmless, good natured, honest and ever upright man ever lived in the community. He had not an enemy in the wide world.
