Last week The Enterprise was informed that the Gilcrease family here had received a telephone message telling of the death of Will Gilcrease in Montgomery on Tuesday and reported same in its columns.

Zion on Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock with the Rev. Mrs. Wardlow officiating and the body was interred beside that of his wife. The Masonic Lodge had charge of the services.
