 Early in the afternoon he drove over to Corinth cemetery to assist several who had gathered to clean off the grounds, and as he drove up and found the crowd sitting around be jokingly remarked to them that they were the laziest looking crowd he had seen for some time, but that If they would just wait he would join them. As he walked over to take his seat he faultered for an instant then fell forward on the ground, and great and noble soul left his body-lifeless.
 His body was at once removed to his home at Old Ransom three miles east of town, and at l o'clock this afternoon the funeral services were held. The Rev. J. A.
