PH|LANTHROP|ST IS
DEAD IN JACKSON
Dr.. R. v. Powers, Mississip-
plan, Gave Literally and
Aided Every Cause.

JACKSON, Miss, Oct. 6. tSpl.) 1.-THE
death Of DIR. r. v. Powers, noted philan-
thropist of this city, which occurred
here Sunday morning after an extended
illness from kidney trouble, removed
from the public life of jackson one Of
its most distinguished figures.
DR. Powers was 10 at the time of his
death. He was native of Baltimore,
but spent the caller years of his life in
Illinois, whence his father had moved
as farmer boy His father lost his
life in one of the earlier gold rushes.
At the age of II DR.. Powers enlisted
in the Union army and fought bravely
for four years, being wounded twice and
serving in some of the hardest fought
battles of the war
In 1866, not long after the close of
hostilities, he came south, settling at
Vicksburg, where he was clerk in a
store for several months. While hold
ing this position his business took him
into the Mississippi delta, and realizing
the possibilities of that section, he pre-
pared to go into business in that sec
ton.
BY 1870 he had accumulated $l25 in
cash and a reputation worth many times
that amount He built a little log
store on the banks of the YaZoo river
near Palmetto Home, now known as
Silver City, rolling the logs out Of the
river himself and erecting the store with
the help of one old negro, who many
years later was brought to Jackson by
Or. Powers and lived out his life here in
peace and comfort.
Despite the setbacks of5frequent over
flows, prosperity came to the young
merchant, who was by this time a
planter, AS the years went on he ac-
cumulated a fortune, and when he
moved to Jackson several years ago he
owned number Of the finest planta-
tions in the delta.
Or. Powers married in this city, Miss
Kate Melville, daughter of Captain and
Mrs. William Melville prominent citi-
zens of Jackson, and granddaughter of
Cows William Melville and Tilghman
Tucker of this state. Mrs, Powers lived
only a few years and the Kate McWil-
lie Powers Home here, the handsome
state headquarters of the Mississippi
Children's Home Finding society, was
erected by DR., Powers as a memorial
to his beloved wife.
