J. H. CENTER DIES OF PNEUMONIA
J. Herbert Center, Tax Assessor of Polk County died here Wednesday morning at 6 o'clock following a week's illness of flu and pneumonia. His wife and son have flu also.
Mr. Center was 41 years old February 9th and leaves two young children, Raymond Hugh and Flora Sue, to whom he left a Christian legacy in one clause of his will, the most remarkable and genuine remembered of the kin. The second clause of his will, written in his own handwriting, June 4, 1917, and duly witnessed follows:
"The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want, and to him I commit my soul. My request to my children, Raymond Hugh, and Flora Sue, is that they both live upright Christian lives, and that they go to Church and Sunday school, and pray God that their walks be so that the public may know that they are Christian men and women, and when the journey of life is over, take them home to Glory, in Heaven, Amen."
All his property is left to his wife and children, his wife being named in the will as Executrix without bond.
Mr. Center was married twenty years ago to Miss Alma Hood of Copperhill, and leaves besides her, three brothers, Robert of Akron Ohio, O. Clifton and Hayden of Benton, and three sisters, Mrs. Jessie Carver and Mrs. Roscoe Brooks of Akron, Ohio, and Mrs W. F. Russell of Benton.
Obit and picture from an old newspaper clipping of young Herbie and his father, Jasper Moultrie Center, made around 1892 and shared by Polk County Historian, Marian Bailey Presswood.
