Death of Mr.. j. A. Roden.

After many weeks of painful but
patient suffering, Mr.. J. A. Roden is
dead, having passed away at his home
on North Eighth street shortly before
two o'clock Tuesday morning. Mr..
Roden had been in bad health for
nearly year, and for the past two
months had been confined to his
bed. He suffered from a complica-
ton of diseases, and bore the intense
pain with Christian-like fortitude. A
purer or better man than Mr.. Roden
never lived. He was faithful Chris
a man loyal to his friends and true
to his fellow men.
Mr.. Roden, who at the time of his
death was fifty years of age, came
here about twenty years ago from
Noxubee county, and had been prom
inently identified with local business
interests since that time. He is sur
vived by daughter, Mrs. Charles
Wood, of this city; three sisters, Mrs.
C. G.. Warner, of st. Louis, Mo-; Mrs.
c. S. Russell, of Ironton, Mo-; Mrs.
P. C. Miller, of Denver, Col, and
brother, who lives in New York. His
daughter, Mrs. Wood, and his sister,
Mrs. Warner, who is the wife of the
vice-president of the Gould system
of railroads, nursed him tenderly
during his fatal illness, and were at
the bedside when the death angel
came to claim the spirit of the suf-
ferer.
The funeral was to have been held
yesterday afternoon, but the bad
caused its postponement un-
til this morning at nine o'clock, at
which time it will be held from the
First Baptist church, of which Mr..
Roden was member. The exercises
will be conducted by the pastor, Rev.
w. A. Hewitt, and the pail bearers
will be Messrs. A. e. Love, T. r. Ste
venson, George d. Sanders. G. r. |
