Our town was again thrown in the
deepest sorrow on Wednesday, August
list, to hear of the untimely death OF
one of our town boys, Addison L. Muir
ply, who was born and raised in our
midst. He was a soldier boy, 25 years
old who died suddenly Wednesday af-
ternoon at 1:45 O'Clock. He had been
soldier since 1916, and had been
many places in Mexico, and overseas
during the war, and came back to us
safely, only to live a short time. He
enlisted in the World War of his own
free will, and was a brave boy, not
afraid in the storm of battles in
France. He died at Camp Devons,
Massachusetts, and his body arrived
here on Saturday morning, and fune-
raj held at M. E. Church, Sunday af-
ternoon. His soldier buddies were here
from several towns to pay the last
tribute of respect to their beloved
comrade. He leaves a widowed mo-
ther and two sisters and brothers to
mourn his loss. Rev. G. Ashwarth Bur-
