Our Father is Dead

Last Tuesday morning Capt. Henry
Lyle ended his earthly career, falling
into the sleep of death at 7,ss o'clock,
after an illness of several months with
a combination OF stomach and liver
troubles.
Matthew Henry Lyle was horn in
this county on March Goth, 1887, on
Easter Sunday and was in his Goth

exceedingly popular and was one Of the
best known men III upper East Tenn.
Hundreds OF old patrons OF the road
and citizens of Knoxville remember
him kindly and regret that he has been
calleu upon to lay down the burden OF
this life"
For twenty years he had resided in
Johnson City, having moved here from
Bristol, where the family lived fol
about fifteen years. He had large
circle of relatives in this county and
many friends throughout East Tennes
see. He was q man whose heart beat
in sympathy with his fellowman il

heart he made many poor sou
happy, laughing with those wht
