DEATH OF JOHN WlLKERsoN.

John Thomas Wilkerson, son of
the late Mr.. and Mrs. j. R. Wilker-
son of Lexington, was born Febru-
airy IL, 1883, and passed from life
to death at the hour of 1890 p. m,
at his home in South Lexington, on
last Saturday, July %, 1915, aged
33 years, 5 months and 10 days.
February IL, 1904, he was mar
ried to Miss Estelle, daughter of Esq.
and Mrs. j. C. Peterson and to the
union were born six children, four
of whom SURVIVE, namely, Mamie
Sue, Mary Rebecca, Cora Estelle
and and an infant born but a few
days before the death of its father.
Some two years ago Mr.. Wilker-
son united with the Baptist church
in South Lexington and was doubt
less prepared for the end when it
came.
Deceased was a member Of the
Woodmen Of the World and the
member Of the order, led by its
local leader, participated in the
funeral service which occurred on
Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, the
remainder Of the service being con-
Quoted by the Rev. Fleetwood
Ball.
John Wilkerson is survived by
five sisters, Mrs. A. E. McNatt, Mrs.
Lon Wyatt, Mrs. Joe Below, Mrs.
Carson Peterson, Miss Mittie Viii
kerson, and one brother, Amber
WilkerS0n.
Several years ago John Wilker-
son stood the examination and won
the position of carrier on one of the
the rural routes out of Lexington,
which position he filled with salts
faction until his last sickness, which
was due to tuberculosis and lasted
several weeks.
John Wilkerson was man with
many good qualities. He loved his
family and his friend and was al
ways ready, as was his father be-
fore him, to do anything in his
power for them. At various times
he was the victim Of what is term
ed bad luck" but John never
seemed to be rebellious and bore
whatever came without complaint,
going on with his work with re-
newed vigor to recover his losses.
We had known John Wilkerson
since his early boyhood and had
claimed him for a friend, hence it
follows that we feel a deep and
abiding sympathy with his be-
reaved family.

JAMES A. ELLER.

About 5 o'clock on the morning
Of June oath, 1915, the dread mes
senger laid the cold hand Of death
upon the brow. of Brother James A
Eller, a beloved member Of Con-
stantine lodge No. "a, F. and A. M,
and summoned him to appear be-
fore the Grand Master on high and
become member of the Grand
Lodge above, that house not made
with haDds-eternal in the heav-
ems.
He had been a devoted Mason
for more than thirty years, and was
ever ready and willing to do his
part in every great and laudable
undertaking. He had a heart full
Of love for his fellows and so lived
and acted that when his time came
to 90 hence, he could welcome the
grim tyrant death and receive him
as a kind messenger sent from the
Father on high to translate him
from this imperfect to that all
perfect, glorious and celestial lodge
above where the great architect of
heaven and earth, Himself, forever
presides.
Brother Eller was a true Chris
tian, a devoted Mason a kind and
loving husband and father. He was
happiest when ministering to 9TH
ers, a happy disposition, a word Of
cheer and a smile for everyone, be-
ing one Of his characteristics.
We ere all going to miss him, but
we may rely upon the wisdom Of
the Heavenly Father in everything
that He does, and we can have the
happy consolation that our loss Of
this dear brother is his eternal
gain.
We deeply sympathize with the
bereaved family and pray God to
comfort them in their great loss.
The evening Of his day came, he
fought the last good fight, he has
closed his earthly career and met
death bravely.
Lies labor done,
Serenely to his final rest he passed;
While the soft memories Of his
virtues yet
Like Sunlight's hues when
That bright orb has set.
Be it resolved, That a copy of
this be sent to his family, a copy
be furnished each Of the local pa
pers for publication and a copy
spread upon our minutes.
Respectfully,
COOPER C. SWEAT,
w. r. HOLLAND,
Committee.
