COL. TISDALE IS DEAD
PASSES AWAY AFTER SUFFERING;
 THREE DAYS.
He Was United States Marshal Under President Cleveland and Promf- s nent Citizen of Montgomery,
 Burial in Uni0ntOvu.

I -
 Death came to Col. W. H. Tisdale, one | of Montgomery's best known citizens, at 2:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon at his home, 1121 South Perry Street, | where he had lain since 10 o'clock Wednesday morning in a comatose con- dition, resulting from q stroke of apo- plexy.
 Colonel Tisdale's death was not un- | expected, and he was surrounded by | his family and loved one. He never regained consciousness and apparently suffered no pain during his illness Physicians, when summoned to his side Wednesday morning, gave but little
 hope for recovery of the patient, and his condition gradually became worse
 until the end yesterday afternoon.
 Colonel Tisdale was born at Lunen-
 berg Court House, Lunenberg County,
 Virginia, sixty-three years ago. He
 received his education there and spent
 his boyhood in Virginia.
 When he was about nineteen years old, the war between the States broke out and young Tisdale went to the front in a company of Cavalry under command of the late General Fitzhugh Lee. He served throughout the war and established a record for gallantry and bravery. At the battle of Gettys- burg, he was shot through the lung and was left on the field and later captured by the enemy and made a prisoner. Being freed some months later, he returned to his home in Luh enberg Court House 1n Sunday morning and found that all of his fam fly had gone to the village church. He went there and learned that they were preaching his funeral. 1t being the impression in the village that he had been killed at the battle of Gettys- burg.
 Colonel Tisdale moved to Alabama in 1869 and located in Uniontown. He lived in Uniontown for a number of years and then removed to Selma where he was engaged in the hotel business several years. He came to Montgom- cry about seventeen years ago to &C., cept the appointment of President Cleveland to the office of Marshal of the Midle District of Alabama. As public officer Colonel Tisdale made an enviable record and served the interests of the government In an excellent man nr.
 Since his retirement from public off, flee he had been engaged in private business.
 Mrs. Tisdale survives him as does one brother, James Tisdale of Laurel, Miss, and one sister, Mrs. Mary Hud- son of Uniontown.
 His was a warm, generous nature and he had a wide circle of acquaint- ances in Alabama.
 The body of Colonel Tisdale will be taken at 8:2O o'clock this morning to Uniontown, his former home, for in- torment. The members of Camp Lo- max and of Camp Falkner, United Con- federate Veterans, have been ordered to meet at the Union Passenger Station to pay the last respects to the memory of their dead comrade.
 The pall-bearers will be Judge Will liam H. Thomas, Judge B. c. Tarver, William Berney. A. Coke Smith, c. E. owens, M. B. Houghton and w. B. Jones.

It is being operased by the Louisville and Nashville, and there will be daily passenger service from there to Anniston. Ashland is situated by survey in the center of Clay Coun- ty and the building of this short line. seven and one-half miles, was quite an undertaking for the people of that place. Still by sacrifices and united efforts they have brought success out Of an enterprise that many predicted would be failure. While 1t has been very heavy burden financially for the citizens, they rejoice now that they un- dertook the enterprise, for they real ize that they could have erected no more lasting monument to their enter. prise and thrift.
