The Death Angel visited and silently departed with the soul of H. B. Met[s]cher last Sunday morning near the hour of nine o'clock.
Mr. Met[s]cher had been suffering with indigestion for the past several years and the doctors who attended him during his illness state that the death was not much of a surprise to them. He was living three miles from Winnsboro and had gone to pump some water. He failed to return in a reasonable time and his body was found some forty minutes after death came.
Mr. Met[s]cher was born in Kansas but had been in Winnsboro for the past twenty-three years. He was fifty years of age. He owned quite a bit of property in Franklin parish.
The deceased is survived by a wife and five children and several brothers and sisters. Interment was made in the local cemetery with Rev. Charles Robinson, pastor of the local Presbyterian church, officiating.
