". \. MCBRIDE, MURDERED SHERIFF.

W. H. Mcbride, son of |. R. and
Mrs. Nancy Mcbride, was born in
Henderson county and when he met
his death by the hand of a negCo
criminal, in Lexington, about 1880
o'clock, Saturday evening, April 20
1918, he had reashed the age of SO
years and 18 days.
March 18th, 1889, he was mar
ried to Miss Matte L., daughter of
Elder and Mrs. T. P. Moore, of Sar-
dis, this county, and of the nine
children born to that union eight
survive, namely; Leslie, (Mrs. King
Brown Melburn, Jessie, Artie,
Pearl, Sherman, Ida (Mrs. John
Benson) and Ethel.
Many years ago Mr.. Mcbride pro-
fessed faith in Christ and joined the
United Baptists of the Primitive
Order in which faith he died.
Mr.. Mcbride was elected sheriff
of Henderson county at the April
term, 1908 served but few months
and returned to his farm near Sar-
dis. He was again elected sheriff
at the April term, 1917, to succeed
j. Frank Martin, resigned, and just
before his last election to the office
of sheriff resigned as amember Of
the County Court and Justice of the
Peace for the 9TH district. Hence
it will be seen that at the time Of
his tragic death he had filled the
office but a few days over one year.
AS member Of the County Court
he always cast his vote as his sense
of right dictated and in the perform
ance of his duty in the office he
was prompt and fearless. The
writer had considerable official bus
mess with him while he was sheriff
and can say truly, that it was his
desire to do right and that he took
pride in the prompt execution of all
business that came into his hands.
1t is a remarkable fact that for
more than a day before his death
he had premonition of impending
trouble and so expressed himself
to his personal friend, Hon. A. S.
Montgomery, Of Sardis, but few
hours before he was shot, as well
as to others.
The remains were inferred at the
Mcbride graveyard, one mile West
of Sardis. last Sunday afternoon at
A o'clock, in the presence of very
large crowd of friends and relatives.
