Suffering Ends
For Henry P. Reid

Although not unexpected, the an
nouncement that Henry P. Reid had
died at A o'clock Sunday morning at
his home on the Winchester pike,
cast a deep gloom over the entire
community.
Peaceful" as he was Affection
ately called by host Of friends, was
one Of the most popular young men
that ever lived within the confines
of Montgomery county. He had
been a constant sufferer since early
manhood, but bore his suffering
without a word of complaint and
was never known to mention his
condition unless asked how he felt.
His friends were numbered only by
his acquaintance and though his
frail body has been called from this
earth his jovial disposition and true
example Of noble manhood will live
long after his remains are lowered
beneath the sod.
At the time Of his death he was
only 35 years of age, just when a
young man should be in his prime,
but the all-wise and knowing Father
saw fit to take this young man Home
and now he peacefully sleeps in a
home not builded with hands-where
suffering is unknown.
Besides his wife. Mrs. Emilee Fl.
Reid and son, Billy, he is survived
by two sisters, Mrs. Dan Chenault
and Mrs. George R. Snyder, of this
city and two brothers, J. Coleman
Reid, of this county and W. Fl. Reid,
of New York. The funeral was held
at his late home Monday afternoon
with services conducted hy his pas
tor, Rev. Clyde Darsie, of the Chris
tian church, and his remains laid to
rest in the cemetery at Winchester
beside his father and mother, the
late J. Davis and Mrs. Nettie Prev
lit Reid. W.
The beautiful floral offerings and
large gathering that assembled to
pay their last respects to the noble
young man was indeed spectacle
that proved the esteem in which he
was held.
As a friend, husband, father, son,
brother, he was the very embodiment
of all that goes to represent a life
that lives after the grave. "Old
Pard," you are gone, but not forgot
ten, and the friends Won have left
behind will be the better for your
having lived, and the brief years you
spent on this earth will ever Hnger
in the memory Of your friends.
May God in His infinite wisdom
be very close to your dear wife and
devoted little boy and comfort them
in the thought that He doeth all
things for the best.

War Mothers Meet

The executive committee Of the
Montgomery County Chapter Of The
American War Mothers was called
to meet with Mrs. A. B. Oldham, the
County War Mother, on Friday,
January 2Sth, at 8 p. NJ, for an in
formal discussion Of business af-
fairs relating to the future action
and policy Of the organization. In
accordance with q ruling Of the State
Executive Board it was arranged to
hold meeting regularly each month
the first one to be on Tuesday, Feb
ruary 22nd, 230 P. M, at the His
tory Club Room. This meeting will
he addressed by DR.. Bush, who is
administering medical treatment to
fiSy-three soldidr boys in Mont
gomery county. It was, decided to
use every effort to secure a full at
tendance of war mothers at the
February meeting. The proposition
to assist The American Legion boys
in the furnishing of their headquar-
tiers, was heartily endorsed, and a
Recommendation made that this un-
dertaking be the business subject of
the next meeting.
It is within the jurisdiction Of the
offices of each chapter to decide
upon the dues for their own organi-
cation, the committee for the Mont
gomery Chapter placed the dues at
so cents per year per capita. Twen-
ty-five cents of this sum goes to the
National, and ten cents TO the state,
leaving fifteen cents for expenses
and work of the home organization.
The previous enrolment was report
ed as fifty-five members, one of
these deceased this winter. The
treasurer reported seven dollars in
the treasury. National dues, now
amounting to $3.50, must be paid
not later than February 1st., so that
the Montgomery Chapter may not be
delinquent.
Since the definite aim of the
American War Mothers is to admin
lister aid and comfort to our dis
abled boys and their families, to
compile records relating to their
military service which will be of
historical value to their descendants
and our several states, and to CO.
operate with the American Legion in
every possible way, it was the opin-
ion of the committee, duty which
every war mother owes to her sol
der son, to enroll and take an ac-
tive part in the organization in re-
coguition of his service to his coun-
try. Enrolment of other war
mothers of the county will take place
at the February meeting.

Local Woman Dies
In West Virginia

Mrs. William Reese died on last
Thursday at the home Of her son,
Harry Reese in Charleston, W. Va,
Of acute Indigestion. Mrs. Reese
died in 30 minutes after the attack.
She was about 70 years old and is
survived by her husband, William
Reese, Of Lexington, two sons, Geo.
Of Pineville, and Harry, of Charles
ton, W. Va, and two daughters, Mrs.
Wiclliffe Bush, of Lexington, and
Mrs. FEMME Reese, of this city. Re-
mains were brought here and after
funeral services at the Christian
church, conducted by the pastor,
Rev. Clyde Darsie, assisted by
Judge d. B. Garrison, who delivered
the funeral grafton, was buried in
Machpelah cemetery. Mrs. Reese was
truly an ideal Christian woman. The
husband and children were all here
to attend funeral services and lay
to rest the one dear to their hearts.
