Tx. LISLE DIES
AT MISSOURI HOME
Passing Of Former Resident And
Well Known Madison
County Citizen

The death of T. X. tisle, former
resident of Richmond and Madison
county at Butler, Mo-, is announced
from the west, the following ac-
curate and detailed facts concerning
his early and life appearing in the
Butler, Mo-, Daily Times: T. X. Lisle
one of Buffers best known and high
ly respected citizens, died at his
home in the north part of town Tues
day morning, May a, after a long i'll
ness of complication of diseases.
Theodore K. Lisle was born in
Madison county, Kentucky, July 13,
1912. He grew to manhood in that
county, where November 2, 1875, he
was united in marriage to Miss Nan
ME Harris; who survives him. To
this union were born five children
three of whom are still living. They
are: H. C. Lisle, Richard Lisle and
Mrs. G. HI. Letton, all of this city.
In the fall of 1879 they came to Mis-
souri, and located on farm in Sum-
NIT township where he engaged in
farming and live stock dealing until
1885, when they removed to this city
where they have since made their
home
T. X. Lisle was of that type, now
fast passing away, the old time south
ern gentleman. Chivalrous and hos
pitable, no stranger was turned from
his doors empty handed. He was
strong in his beliefs and convictions
and possessed the courage to at all
times express and stand by those con-
victions. More than a half century
ago he was made Mason at Rich
mond, Kentucky, and soon after he
was made Master. of that lodge. In
political belief he was a Democrat
and was always active in the coun-
ellis of his party, serving at one time
as chairman of the Bates county
Democratic committee. In 1902 he
was elected recorder of deeds and
made an enviable record in that of
flee for the next four years. At tho
expiration of his term of Office he
retired from active business life and
has enjoyed well earned rest after
an active and useful life of many
years.
Funeral services, conducted by
Rev. J. Baxter Clyde, were held al
the home "Wednesday afternoon. The
services at Oak Hill cemetery were
in charge of the Masons, of which
order he was for many years an hon
ored member.

TRUCK TRANSPORT
COMPANY ORGANIZED
Richmond to Be Made Important
Headquarters For Shipping
and Distribution

Richmond is to be the head
quarters for a truck transport
company since local and Louis
vile business men have perfected
the organization of a company
and this city will represent the
northern headquarters with an
other distributing center at
Louisville. What will be known
as the Blue Grass Motor Trans
port Co, will be in evidence dur
ing the coming week, when the
Richmond headquarters will be
.ouened. This will be the Mckee
rink building, south of First St.
This has been provided and will
mark the first service station of
the kind yet established in this
part of the state, and the first
one in the way of a through
truck transport service.
E. II. Sandlin of this city, to-
gether with E. L. Carter, and w.
p. Gilman, of Louisville, are the
promoters of the company. Mr..
.Sandlin will nave charge of the
business at this end of the line.
Regular transport service via
truck, will be maintained, begin
ming within short time.
The company, besides making
Richmond the headquarters for
this service station, will put in an
extensive line of autos, mostly
slightly used in order to supply
the demand which cannot be
served with new cars. The sup
ply will comprise trucks, large
and small and almost every con-
cievible kind together with all
makes Of automobiles. Thus the
local establishment will represent
a clearing house, in a way as well
as a shipping center. The COM
pany will be ready to operate
it within a few days, the local
headquarters having been pro-
cured. The first installment of
machines will arrive soon.
