Funeral services were held in the Robert Lee Methodist church, Tuesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. John Brown, assisted by Rev. K. P. Barton of San Angelo. Deceased was a native of Arkansas. He was born there April 15, 1868, making him to be 74 years old. On December 16, 1891, he married Miss Elizabeth Hall, who survives him.
They came in 1899 to Coke County. They had been married 50 years and observed their golden wedding last year. Besides the widow, nine children and 19 grandchildren survive.

He was conscientious and sincere in all his efforts as county judge and tried always to serve the interests of his county, as he had light to see the right and always commanded the respect of all. Truly, a good man has passed. The Enterprise extends sympathy to those of the family circle in this hour of sorrow and bereavement.
