Thomas Spurry, a well-known and
highly respected citizen, passed
away early Tuesday morning, aged
65 years. His death was due to
asthma from which he has suffered
much, being obliged to give up his
business five years ago. He was of
a quiet, kindly nature, devoted to
his home and family; possessing
sterling qualities of character that
won the respect of his associates in
the business and social life OF the
community. Previous to his retire
ment from business his store was a
center where a social group could
always be found and an era of good
feeling prevailed because of his fra
ternal spirit toward his fellowmen.
He was one of the charter members
OF the Junior Order United American
Mechanics, also a member of Trim
ity M. e. Church, whose services he
enjoyed when health permitted him
to attend. A life of good will and
kindness of spirit has passed on ITO
an inheritance incorruptible and un-
defiled that fadeth not away" Flu
neral services were held at his late
residence on Tuesday afternoon,
conducted by Rev. N. c. Benson.

who accompanied him on his trip
here, were entertained while here at
the home of Mr. Blades friend since

friend, who has shared our
morning, days,

Fame is the scentless sunf1ower, ,
with gaudy crown of gold;
But friendship is the breathing rose,
with sweets in every fold"
