Death Comes to W. W. Still Wednesday
W. W. Still (Uncle Billie, as he was known) died at his home near Rock Springs Baptist Church last Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock. He had been ill only a few days, and had only recently returned from the Confederate reunion at Dallas, Texas. He had enjoyed remarkable health for a man his age, being at the time of his death over eighty-five years of age. Deceased was one of the pioneer citizens of Chambers County, and had the distinction of living all his live in the same community in which he was born. He was a member of the church which he joined when a young man, being the Rock Springs Baptist Church.
His going marks the continued depletion of the ranks of the Confederate soldiers.
Deceased is survived by two sons, John Still, of near Rock Springs, and J. Alex Still, of Shawmut; also, four daughters, Mrs. Willie Norman, Texas; Mrs. Ada Kendricks, Texas; Mrs. Mollie Stewart and Miss Enneree Still, of near Rock Springs.
The funeral services were held at the Rock Springs Baptist Church Thursday afternoon, and were in charge of Rev. B. B. McGinty, pastor of the Rock Springs Church, assisted by Rev. C. B. Martin, of Lanett, Rev. W. W. Lankford, and Dr. J. W. Rucker, of LaFayette. Interment was in the Rock Springs Cemetery. Company I 37th Alabama Infantry CSA
