A telegram to Mr. C. T. Roff, and another to the Knights of Pythias Lodge from Bowie, Texas announces the death of Mr. Wm. Monroe Aven, at his home in that place at 7 o'clock Wednesday evening Sept. 1, 1909.
Mr. Aven was born in Atlanta, Ga.(See census) March 22, 1847, and was therefore at the time of his demise, 62 years, 5 months and 22 days of age.
Mr. Aven was for many years a resident of this city and had been married twice, his first wife dying here, and he was afterwards married to Miss Scottie Burton, of Burton, who survives him. During his long residence here no one stood higher in the community, his friends being numbered by the large list of his acquaintances.
He was one of the charter members of Brenham Lodge No. 10., Knights of Pythias, had been through the chairs, and represented the lodge at the Grand Lodge, and had been a loyal and active Knight during all the years of the lodge's existence since it was organized in 1874. He had been Grand Chancellor of the Grand Lodge of Texas. He was also a member of the order of the A. O. U. W. in which he carried $2,000 insurance.
He has no children, but leaves a host of friends and relatives to mourn his untimely demise.
His remains will reach here Friday morning on the 4:30 Santa Fe.
Since writing the above it has been learned that the funeral will be held at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, under the auspices of the Knights of Pythias and that it will take place from the residence of Mr. O. A. Seward and the remains will be interred at Prairie Lea cemetery.
