HI. E. Curtis

At II o'clock on the night of
the Both of October, H. E. Curtis
died at his home on Main street,
aged SO years.
Mr.. Curtis had been in declin-
ing health for more than a year.
but his illness was not of such
a character as to confne him at
home. He was taken worse a
week preceding his death and
the end was apparent. E
Surrounded by his family, and
friends he quietly breathed his
last.

He was born near Mooreville and
his life was spent in this county.
He was a successful farmer for
many years. Leaving the farm
few years ago, he moved to
Tupelo few years ago and en-
gagged in business.
AS a citizen he was progressive
and liberal and was always found
on the right side of every public
question. AS a neighbor he was
considerate and obliging, and
from his hand bounteous chari-
ties were dispensed.
For many years he was a
member of the Masonic fraterni-
ty, having been elected seven
times in succession as Worshipful
Master of the MoorevilleS lodge.
In his daily life he exemflifieo
all of the benefcence which is
taught by that order. St
In early life he became a mem.
Der of the Methodist church ard
was an active participant in the
affairs of his church.
AS a husband and father he
was devoted and his greatest
ambition was to minister to the
needs of his family and to fill
their lives with happiness and
love. To his mother he was an
affectionate son. ss3l
He leavess an aged mother, a
sister, his wife, two sons and a
daughter to mourn his death.
The funeral services took place
at the residence on Sunday morn
ing where many friends gathered
to pay their last tribute of re-
spect, Rev. J. c. Park, his pas
tor. conducting the services.
The Masonic fraternity took
charge of the remains and fol-
lowed them to their last resting
place and laid them to rest with
Masonic honors, members M his
