This morning at the family home one of the oldest residents of the county passed into the vast unknown as death came to A. T. Vanderford, eighty two years and three months of age. He lived in the Jacinto community and death came at 6:20. The burial will take place this afternoon at 5 o'clock at the Vanderford Cemetery, conducted by Rev. J. W. Potts.
He was a resident of this county from his early childhood, having come here from Georgia when he was a bit of a lad, and during that time he led a useful and active life, being of that sturdy substantial nature that builds without complaint and without ostentation.
His divisional connection was not learned but when the war came on between the states he aligned himself with the Southern Cause and was a Confederate soldier throughout the entire four years of the war.
His wife died about four years ago, but he is survived by eight children, four sons and four daughters: Milton Vanderford, Oklahoma; Charles Vanderford, Arkansas; H. L. Vanderford, Memphis; R. A. Vanderford, Birmingham; Mrs. H. Burcham of the Jacinto community; Mrs. Johnnie Woods with whom he was living at the time of his death; Mrs. W. I. Province, Corinth; Mrs. G. L. Britton, Arkansas.
