DEATHS
The entire community was shocked yesterday morning to learn of the sudden death of one of its most beloved citizens. Mr. James Paxton, than whom a better man never lived, quietly breathed his last at 4 o'clock and a long and useful life was ended - the faithful servant of a loving Master had been called to his glorious reward. He was nearly 68 years of age, more than 40 of which was spent in the service of the Lord, for after professing religion and attaching himself to the Presbyterian church, he followed faithfully the command: "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." This he did unostentiously for he was a most modest and retiring man, but in all church matters, in charitable enterprizes and in assisting the poor and afflicted, he was ever ready and no call was ever made on him in vain. For many years he had been elder of his church and it was a rare occurrence to see his accustomed seat vacant at any of the services, not omitting the Sunday school, in which he took great interest. In all the walks of life, as neighbor, friend, husband and father, he was a model man and many other hearts will bleed than those of his immediate relatives.
A wife and three children, Joseph B., Mattie and Bettie Paxton, survive him and but for the sustaining power of faith they would be crushed with the weight of the loss to them irreparable. Mr. Paxton had been ill with malaria and muscular rheumatism for two or three weeks though no fears of his death were entertained, but the rheumatism attacked his heart a few hours before his death and rendered his case hopeless at once. The funeral sermon will be preached at his late residence at 3 o'clock this evening by Rev. A. S. Moffett after which the remains will be laid away in Buffalo Springs Cemetery. No man has died in this community for years whose loss will be felt more sensibly and none who has left a more enduring heritage of a good name to a loving family.
