Prof. w. L. Cansler died at the home
of his father, at Knoxville, Tenn,
Tuesday night, August 10. He had
been sick about two years prior to his
death which was not unexpected by
his many friends.
Prof. Cansler was prominent for
many years in the affairs of the race.
He was graduate of Roger Williams
University. He was member of the
Board Of Trustees of that institution
and was always deeply interested in
its welfare. He was some years ago

llO lcIO W. L. CNi5iSA'
head of the Mailing Department of the
National Baptist Publishing House.
He was instructor for a number of
years in the city schools where he
did valuable service in the cause Of
education.
There are many young men and
women out in the world busy at life's
tasks, who received much Of their
early instruction and training under
him. The impress of his indefatig-
able labors as an Instructor will live
on through the years in the achieve
ments of men and women who once
were his pupils. His former pupils
respected him living; dead they will
cherish his memory. 1t is fitting they
should do so.
Prof. Cansler had host of friends
throughout the entire country, both in
religious and fraternal organizations,
who. though bowling submissively to
the will of Heaven, will mourn his
loss. The intimate friends Of Prof.
Cansler knew he was a serious man
who took life seriously and seriously
performed its duties. Death found
him at his post of duty, not having re-
linquished the performance of single
one of the tasks of his many important
positions.
At the time of his death Prof. Cans
Ter held the following important po-
sitions: Secretary Of National Bap-
tist Convention, Secretary of Tennes'
zee Baptist State Convention, Secre-
tary of Stones River Association, Sec.
retary of Endowment Board K. of p
Clerk Pleasant Green Baptist Church
and Superintendent of Pleasant Green
Sunday School.
His reelection to these positions OF
trust from year to year indicate the
confidence reposed in him.
While he has passed over the River
Of Death to rest under the shade oi
the Tree of Life on the other side, hi
will leave many who will revere his
memory as an earnest man of affairs
and faithful Christian worker.
The remains of Prof. Canslel
reached Nashville from Knoxville
Thursday morning, and the funera
services will take place this Afternoon
at two o'clock from Pleasant Greer
Baptist Church, Jefferson street.
Miss Hazel Thompson, who for the
past two years has taught in the A
