FATHER OF MRS.
BULLOCK DEAD

Mrs. J. T.. Hamilton has returned
from Greenville, Texas. where she at.
tended the funeral Of Dr.. Thomas j.
Miner, father Of Mrs. Robert w. Bul.
ock who formerly resided here. nr.
Miner was we'll known here. The
following is taken from the G~reenviIlo
paper.
DIR. Y. j. Miner was one Of natures
noblemen. During the three years of
my ministry in this city he has en-.
dcarcd himself to me in many ways.
His devotion to his church, his loyalty
to her institutions, his convictions in
matters where moral principles were
involved, all mark him as an outstand-
ing man among his fellowmen.
He was a soldier in those stormy DAYS
that tried mems souls. He loved the
sound of the bugle and the memory
of the camp fire. Beneath the gray
jacket that marked him as n soldier of
the Southern co%nfederacy there beat
a heart Of gold. lie was true to his
convictions and true to the history and
traditions of his beloved Southland.
He despised hypocracy. With Robert
Burns he believed that "A mans a
man for all that lie loved to attend
the annual gathering of the veterans
whose hin grey line is rapidly be.
coming only n glorious memor Of a
still more glorious past.
on Fame's eternal camping ground
His silent tent is spread
And Glory guards in solemn round,
The bivouac Of the dead"
He will be mourned by the entire
city. His loss viii be felt so keenly
by his church. In the old Kayanaueh
his place was seldom vacant and many
of us hoped that he might live Ia
occupy his pew in the greater Kava.
naugh which is to be.
He loved his family and his devotion
to children and grand children was
beautiful to behold. He had so many
friends. One Of Greenville's leading
physicians said to me as the tears
trickled down his cheeks, II shall
never have a truer friend than DR.
Miner"
His beloved wife was buried or
Thanksgiving day IL years ago. AND
his pulseless form was consigned tC
mother Earth on this last Thanks
giving day. And those who knew hin
best and loved him most will give
thanks for his life, for his unselfisf
services, for all the hallowed memories
that link his life with theirs.
Good bye dear DIR. Miller. Farewell
soldier chivalrous and brave.
