since he came to this place. He
was strong in the Christian faith,
and death had no terrors for him
as he assured his family and
friends in the last hours of his
life.
Except for a few minutes at
a time when under the influence
Of opiates, he was rational at all
times and was glad to see his
friends when they were permit
ed to enter his room, and talked
to them freely and cheerfully
about current affairs.
The funeral services were held
at the residence, Rev. 9. A.
Ladd of Tullahoma officiating,
assisted by Rev. W. G. Dillon
and Elder j. ID. Northcut. Mr..
E. @. Norvell had charge of the
burial. His body was laid to
rest in the city cemetery on Sun
dey afternoon, a great concourse
of people gathering for the occa-
sion. The pail bearers were
Messrs. j. G. Alternately, r. NJ.
Crick, NJ. 7. Upton, Samuel
Werner, Newt Crick and E. B.
Finney, and the grave was be-
decked with beautiful flowers
bestowed by loving friends.
Mr.. Williams was poor in this

acter, and the following applies
to him as though it had been
written for the occasion :---"and
he was a good man, and a just

Death of D. w. Williams.

Mr.. d. W. Williams died at
his home here at two o'clock Sat
urday morning, January %, 1916.
He was hurt in the mines by
falling slate on the morning Of
December Z, 1915, and although
he had the best medical atten-
tion and nursing during this pc
Rod, yet his injury was so great,
and other complications setting
up, that Notwithstanding the
brave fight he made to live, the
end came peacefully at the time
stated above. Soon after his in
jury, it was learned that an Oper-
alton would be necessary, and
DIR. Eve of Nashville was called
in to assist DR.. Hayes in this del
icate undertaking, after which
it was thought for a time that
Mr.. Williams would recover,
and he himself entertained great
hopes for a time. 1t was only
the day before his death that he
fully realized that he could not
get well, and then it was that he
notified his children of the fact
which they had suspected for so
long time. He suffered great
pain during all the time, but at
the same time he was patient
and hopeful and talked freely to
his many friends who called in
to see him. Many more who
would have called were turned
away because it was thought best
to conserve all his energy to fight
the ravages of disease caused by
the hurt received in the mines.
Just before the end came, Mr..
Williams sent for all his children
and babe them an affectionate
farewell, and soon thereafter
''fell asleep" D. He was born Aug.
1860, and was therefore, fifty
five years, five months. and six
days old when he died. He was
married to Miss Lou Walker,
Aug. q, 1878, and six children
were born to them, four of
whom, W. J. Williams, Alfred
Williams, Mrs. Geo. E. Bryan
and Mrs. Jeff D. Fults, and his
widow survive him. At the time
of his marriage he .esided on Col
Inns river, but soon thereafter
moved to Tracy City and has liv-
ed here ever since. In his early
manhood, he affiliated himself
with the Baptist Church and was
faithful member of the Church
at Tracy City up until his death,
having been deacon in the
Church for many years, and SUI,
perintendent of the Sunday
school indifferent times all along

Leaves For Cowan

Mr.. Tom NJ. Woodward and
Sam Henson left last Monday
for Cowan, where they will en-
gage in the printing business.
They will establish the Franklin
County Times and do general
line of printing, having purchas-
ed new outfit. Cowan has long
felt the need Of a newspaper
and these young men could not
have chosen a better field for To-
eating. They are both energetic
and industrious young men, Mr..
Woodward being an experienced
printer and newspaper man,
while Mr.. Henson is fine sole
stor and news reporter. We
predict success for them in their
chosen field.

Death Of Little Jno. Kuntz.

Jno. Kuntz Jr., died Wednes-

body wasn't sufficiently strong
enough to stand the operation
and his spirit went back to God
who gave it. He was y years
of age, and an unusually bright
child Of this age, but God saw
where he could use him in heav-
en- so he called him home.
Funeral services will be held
to-day Thursday and he will be
buried in the City Cemetery.
We extend sympathy to the be-
reaved parents.
