The recent passing of Monterey Byron Lillie, of Franklin, Tenn., removed from the church here, and the brotherhood at large, a fine type of Christian. Brother Lillie was a son of Byron Lillie, who came to this county with his two brothers, Bates and Jasper Lillie, from Toronto, Canada. His mother, Minerva Sweeney Lillie, was born and reared at Leiper's Fork, near Franklin. He is survived by his wife, Sister Janie Gooch Lillie; two sons, Clayton and Theodore Lillie, the latter a preacher of the gospel; and two brothers, George and Fulton Lillie, all of Franklin. Brother Lillie was for many years a teacher in the public schools of his native county. He was an upright, honorable citizen and a faithful Christian. The end came for him after several weeks' illness. His funeral service was conducted by the writer, and his remains were committed to the earth in the Leiper's Fork Cemetery.
