Alex Awberry (Awbrey), one of the oldest citizens of Cherokee County, died Friday night at 12 o'clock at his home in Pollard's Bend.
Mr. Awbrey was 70 years old. He was the oldest citizen of his community, having been born within a quarter of a mile from where he died. He went to the war with the Confederate regiment in 1861 and fought to the close in 1865. He was a good citizen, a gallant soldier and a man whose character was stainless.
A wife and a number of children survive, all of the latter being grown, most of them married.

Quite a number attended the burial of A.L. Awbrey today at Smith’s Chapel. A.L. Awbrey (better known as “Uncle Alex”) died on the night of the 27th of this month. He was 71 years old. (He) had been a member of the Methodist church for many years. He had been failing in health for several years and, for several months before he died, was confined to his bed. Just what he suffered no tongue can tell. He left to mourn his loss his wife and four daughters, Mrs. Nina Daniel of Rome, Ga., Mrs. Herman Hale of this county, Mrs. Grace Bates of Cedar Bluff and Miss Edna Awbrey at home. He was one of the most industrious men I ever knew.
(He) has done as much hard work as any man in the county. No man ever done more for his family than he did in keeping them plenty of something to eat and to wear. He was a successful farmer and came as near making his farm self sustaining as any of us.
For many years I have had different kind of dealings with him. I always found him strictly honest and willing to do to others as he would have done to him. Signed W.M. Hicks (Dixon’s Shop, Ala., Jan. 29th) (microfilm only)
