Tannersville, March 2s.-Mr. H. C.
Asbury, whose illness has been fire.
quently mentioned in this paper dur
ing the past few months, died in the
Abingdon hospital last Friday morn
ing. The remains were brought to
his home here and inferred in family
grave yard about o'clock. "Unclc
Henry" as he was familiarly called,
was about 78 years old and had lived
in this community most of his life
and will be greatly missed by all who
knew him.
Roy Hit, the 14-year old son of Mr..
and Mrs. j. l. Hit, died at his home
here last Friday night about 10
o'clock. He had been complaining for
a few days with cold and the grip,
but had gotten much better seemingly
and had gone to the dining room for
breakfast that morning got
worse, and died before the doctor
could reach him. After examining
his body, DR.. Holmes pronounced it
