We'll Known in NNalllalla and ut Ono
Time Resided Here.

The Franklin IN, Press Of last
Weeh announced the death Of Jesse
S.SSloan at that place on Wednesday
moghing, Dec. 9Th. This information
wilE be received with regret by many
friends OF the deceased and his fam
ily in5 this section. We take from the
PRESS the following facts:
sEarly Wednesday morning Mr..
Sl0An arose and dressed, and was sit
ting in front Of the fire awaiting the
callsto breakfast, when he complain,
edNF having a severe pain In his side.
A physician was hastily SUNNI oned,
andsmelnbers Of the family admiris-
tered what relief they could but IN.
Spite Of all that could be done he died
in few minutes. When the physi-
ciah arrived Il few minutes later Mr..
Sloan had passed beyond all earthly
aid#
sssAIr. Sloan was 6 years Of age. In
1885 he married Miss Georgia New
illeEpf Walholla. To this happy union
eight children--four boys and four
girlS--were born, all of whom, with
EhisS@ife survive. The children are:
Mrs, Francis Tessier, Of Louisiana
Misses <Timoxena, Carolyn and Flea
norsSloan, and wv, j. S., Jr., Har-
old$3and Carter Sloan Besides his
IWifs8and children Mr.. Sloan Is sur
viYSd by two brothers, w. w. and l..
| TsSloan, and three sisters, Mrs. Geo.
A.FJones, Mrs. Lee Crawford and Mrs.
p. RI. 3Kinnebrew, as we'll as a large
hunher Of other relatives.
@Mr. Sloan was a man in every
sense Of the word. At the early age
Of A6 years his father died, leaving
himsto fill the mans place in large
family, and 1t can be said to his cred
1T that : he performed these duties
we'll His was AN honorable place in
theSehurch, business and social life Of
ouT community, and there was not a
man IN our county who was more
universally, liked and esteemed than
he.SSHe was q devoted and consistent
member Of the Methodist church and
served his church both as steward
andS member Of the board of trus-
tees He was the senior member Of
thSShrm Of Sloan Brothers & Co., a
large snaereantile Arm, and was presi-
|fsSySs2S Of The Ban o r Tranklin since
I the two banks here were consolidat-
ed. For this position he was chosen
] because he was the one man in The
community who was acceptab Bile to all
parties.
| Expressions Of regret at his un-
timely death are heard OH every side,
and it is realized that his place in our
community will be hard to fill."
