The funeral of Prof. Wyley E. Randle, who died last Wednesday morning, was held at the residence of Mrs. Carrie Randle at 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon. Rev. S. L. Dobbs was in charge of the services, which later he turned into the hands of the Masons.
The body was then interred in Cedarwood Cemetery, with the honors of this ancient order. Mr. Randle was for a long portion of his life of 77 years a member of the Masonic order and the Methodist church. He was an educated, Christian gentleman and a brother of the late Messrs. F. P. and A. G. Randle. He leaves a widow, whose devotion and whose grief aroused the sympathy of all who came in contact with her.

*********************************
Professor W. E. Randle was born in Summer County, Tennessee, July 28, 1834, and died, at Roanoke, Ala., August 30, 1911. He was the son of the Rev. Wm. Randle, a pioneer Methodist minister of great gifts and power, six of whose brothers were, also, Methodist ministers. Brother Randle was, consequently, by birth, rearing and education a Methodist. He received a classical education, his last school being Fanning College, near Nashville, where he was a classmate of the celebrated Dr. Whitsett, who recently died at Richmond College, and other noted men, among whom was the late Judge Edward H. East. By nature, kind, amiable and friendly, with the gift of imparting knowledge, he early in life chose teaching and had the pleasure of shaping the lives of many boys and girls in Tennessee and other States, who have honored their sections and who entertained for him a deep veneration. While well read and cultured, his mind was mathematical and logical. He liked a problem and enjoyed an analysis. This trend gave exactitude to his thoughts and influenced his life Work. In all investigations sought the basic principles. On these strong lines his life was built and spent and when the shadows grew long he complacently cast up his account and laid it at his Master's feet. Like one panoplied for the journey, he looked into the abyss of eternity with no fears but with composure, believing on the Everlasting Name. Wherever located he was usually Superintendent of the Sunday School and prominent in his church. Thus, in the discharge of his duty, as he saw it, he made many friends, whom he served cheerfully and with fidelity. He was quiet and unobtrusive in disposition, but able and ardent in any cause he espoused. He was a Mason for a half century, being active until failing health came.
Prof. Randle was the first Superintendent of the Masonic Home; organized its school and was largely responsible for its present system of preserving the individual home to the widow and her children. He retired in January, 1897, removing to Florida, where he was a member of Largo Lodge. He came to Roanoke on a visit to relatives and received a Masonic burial at the hands of brethren there. He was a brother of the late Judge Clinton Randle, of Hickman, Ky., Fountain Randle and Sandy Randle, of Roanoke, who preceded him to the grave, and of Mrs. John Bottomly, of Franklin, Ky.
He was married forty years ago to Miss Ella Duncan, of Simpson county, Ky., who survives him and who has the sympathy of her many, many friends. Mrs. Thos. Spight, of Ripley, Miss., and Mrs. W. H. Bumpus, sisters of Mrs. Randle, attended the funeral. This noble and exemplary life will never fade from our memory. Tennessee Mason.
