C. B. Hightower Dies

The people of Frost and community were bowed in grief Monday morning when the news came from Waco that C. B. Hightower had passed away early that morning in a sanitarium. Mr. Hightower was born in 1841, moving to Texas at an early age. He was an ex-Confederate soldier, having enlisted in the service from this county. "Uncle Charnel," as he was called was one of the Frost community's most substantial and highly respected citizens, and from what acquaintence the writer had with him he was a man of Strong character and admirable disposition. He was vice-president of the First National Bank and out of due respect to the deceased the First National Bank and the citizen's State Bank were closed Monday and Tuesday.

The remains were shipped to Italy Monday afternoon where they were met by Beene Bros. undertakers, and a few friends and brought to Frost, where they lay in state at the home of Mrs. J. A. Ledford, daughter of the deceased until Tuesday afternoon. The funeral services were conducted by Revs. Conway of Hubbard and W. O. Barnett of this place. The Masons of Frost had charge of the funeral which took place in the McCord cemetery.

The out-of-town friends and relatives present were: C. T. Hightower, Garden City; N. M. Hightower, Lubbock; C. R. Hightower, Winters; Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Griffin and children of Waco, and Nate Hightower, of Burkburnett.
