ANOTHER OLD SOLDIER CALLED
Abner McCumber Died Last Sunday Afternoon
Veteran of Civil War - Funeral Tuesday

Another old soldier answered the roll call last Sunday when Abner McCUMBER breathed his last breath at his home on South East street at 12:30 p.m.

Thirteen years ago deceased suffered a stroke of paralysis, from which he partially recovered, but since that time had not been able to engage in any hard labor. Seven years ago he suffered a second stroke which left him in an enfeebled condition. On Wednesday of last week he suffered the third and fatal stroke while at home.

Deceased was born in Ohio, June 6, 1840, and came with his brother to this county before the war. He enlisted with Co. F, 41st Ill. Vol., at Decatur and served during the remainder of the war. Following the close of the conflict he returned to this county and was employed on the farm of Ben Mitchell southeast of this city. March 30, 1873, he was united in marriage to Henrietta JEWETT, near Weldon. He is survived by the widow and three children, the latter being Mrs. F. W. WHEELER, North Macon street, Ira and Mrs. Fred DuBOIS, the latter two residing at home. He also leaves a sister, Mrs O. P. HAINES, a Clinton resident.

Funeral services were held at the home at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, Rev. E. K. TOWLE, pastor of the M. E. church officiating. Interment in Woodlawn.
