FUNERAL HELD TOMORROW
By j. F. LEE.

Ressemer, August cial.)-Cham- bers McAdory died suddenly from stroke of apoplexy this evening at 7:3O o'clock at his home in Jonesboro. He was strick- en at o'clock this afternoon while talk ing with his wife on their back veranda. and it came upon him so suddenly that he would have fallen had not Mrs. Me Adory caught him in her arms.
 He became semi-conscious shortly after the stroke, but remained that way only a few minutes, lingering in an uncon- scious state until 7:3O o'clock, when, de- spite the efforts of medical skill, he passed away.
 Dr. L. L. Spencer was called immedi- ately after he became ill and remained until his death.
 Mir McAdory was "A years of age, having been born at the old McAdory homestead in old Jonesboro. April 12, 1884 He was the son of Col. James and Mrs Nancy T. McAdory, who were among the first settlers of Jefferson county, and is the last of a family of eight children. He fought in the Civil War having enlisted with a Mississippi regiment, and during the battle of Shi- loh was severely wounded in the leg.
 Although he has always led an active outdoor life. and has been a man of ex- tremely temperate habits during the last few years of his life he has had frequent attacks of apoplexy and has often re- marked that when the time came for him to leave this earth he would be satisfied to go this way, as he suffered no pain whatever during an attack.
 MT. McAdory was in Bessemer today. and besides attending to some duties per- tinent to his personal affairs, he went out to Cedar Hill cemetery, he being pres ident of the company that owns that property. He did not complain of feel ing any worse than usual at dinner, and had no warning symtosns of his approach ing illness. In his immediate family he is survived by wife and only one child. Mrs. Matte Huey wife of Eugene Huey. but ke leaves a large number of rela- tives, as the McAdorys and their rela- tives have been prominent in every move that has ever been made for the advance ment of the county's interests as far back as one can remember. He was first cousin to I. w. McAdory, superintendent of education w. K. McAdory clerk of the circuit court, Birmingham; J. E. Me Adory and P. J. McAdory of Jonesboro.
 Funeral services will be held at the family residence on Han avenue Jones' boro, Sunday morning at 10 o'clock, the following pastors taking part in the serv-  ices: Rev. J. M. McCluskey pastor Jones' boro Methodist church; Rev. w. E. Nor ris pastor Methodist church, Bessemer, and Rev. A. D. Glass, pastor of the Bap- tist church. Jonesboro. Interment will be at Cedar Hill cemetery. in charge of Jacobs & Son.
 While MT. McAdory's death comes as shock to the entire community it was not wholly unexpected, as he has had frequent attacks similar to this one. and of late they seemed to have taken on a more serious nature. He has been often heard to remark that he never knew when to leave his home, as he had no warning of when he would be stricken until the attack was upon him.
 He is a member of the Masonic order but 1t could not be ascertained whether or not they would have charge of the fu- neral services. The pallbearers will be announced later
