The funeral services were conducted by Rev. B.M. Martin Monday afternoon and the remains laid to rest in Magnolia Cemetery. He suffered much from an attack of brain trouble and that brought on death. The young couple has the sympathy of the community in their bereavement. Ruth, infant daughter of Ralph V. Swan, of Knoxville, died at Bank, Sunday evening, July 14, 1904, after a short illness, aged five months and twenty days.

Friday, August 5. 1904 Miss. Fannie Anderson, daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Payton Anderson, was buried at Baker's Creek Cemetery last Monday. The services were conducted by Rev. W.S. Smith, assisted by Reverends John Ritter and B.M. Martin. A large concourse of friends and relatives attended the funeral. A two year old child of J.T. Sams of Rockford, died Tuesday. The Madisonville Citizen says: "Our county Court House seems to answer the purpose of a whiskey shop just as well as if it were built that way." Roy, the second son of Mr. & Mrs. Sam DeLozier, passed away last Sunday after a short illness. Interment took place in Wildwood Cemetery. Louisville---Lewie Ballew, a twelve year old son of Rev. William Ballew had an experience Sunday night that he will not forget soon. He went to the services at the Tabernacle and fell asleep. As he was lying down in the straw he was not observed by anyone when the lights were blown out and the door locked at the close of the service. He was not missed from his home until morning, when his father started in search of him and found him at the place mentioned, peeping through the crack of the wall and anxiously waiting for someone to come to release him. Moral---boys had better not go to sleep in church. Friday, August 12, 1904 Waters---James Free's little child died last week and the remains were taken to Newport for burial.

Cameron died in Los Angeles, California, last week after an illness of several months with consumption. He was raised in Ellejoy and went to California a couple of years ago. A brother, James Cameron, is the only member of the family in this county at present. The rest are scattered in Indiana, California and Tennessee. His father died about two years ago last winter, at Ellejoy. Harrison Singleton, jailer at the county jail, died suddenly last Friday morning. He had not been particularly robust, but was considered in serious condition when a stroke of apoplexy ended his life. He was about sixty-four years old. Abe Wallace, near Clover Hill, died Saturday morning rather suddenly of heart failure. He had been sickly for a long time, but had felt better and came home from Montvale a day or two before he died.

A still-born child of Mr. & Mrs. Robert McNutt was buried Thursday. Two Men Dead---A terrible accident occurred at the railroad bridge across Little River about two o'clock Wednesday afternoon in which two men lost their lives. The contractors who are putting in the new railroad bridge at that point had a force of men excavating under the tracks to get a place for a new pier. They had the embankment dug off for some distance from the old pier and had the track supported on piles. The face of the bank was between twenty-five and thirty feet high and nearly perpendicular. The men of whom there were eight, were digging away at the foot of the bank when suddenly the whole front fell over on them. Six of the men were near the edge of the fall and soon got out with a few bruises. The other two, James Isbell of Knoxville and Enoch Reed of Rockford, were further back and were crushed beneath many tons of earth. Neighbors and the neighboring section crews were summoned to the place and went to digging for the unfortunates. The bodies were reached a time or two but additional slides occurred and delayed the work so that the bodies were not recovered until about two o'clock Thursday morning. The bodies were crushed but not mangled. Both of the dead men were young and unmarried. Isbell's father was the foreman in charge of the work. Trains were delayed on account of the cave in so that none crossed from the time the noon passenger went to Knoxville Wednesday until Thursday morning. The accident appears to have been entirely inforseen and unavoidable. The railroad company had nothing whatever to do with the work, as the entire job was let by contract, and consequently has no responsibility in the case. Friday, September 9, 1904 Reinhold James Koehler, oldest child of William and Florella Koehler, was born in Fayetteville, St. Clair County, Illinois, March 27, 1891, died at Maryville, Tennessee, at 11:20, Tuesday, August 30, 1904, aged 13 years, 5 months, and 3 days. In early infancy he removed from southern Illinois to western Iowa with his parents. A few years later the family removed to northern Illinois, and nine years ago to Indiana, whence they came to Tennessee last January. Early in July he was taken with a low fever and after several weeks he recovered, but suffered a backset twelve days before he died, with symptoms indicating malarial typhoid fever, but before these symptoms developed, brain fever set in with its agonies and finally death brought relief. Everything that kind care and medical skill could suggest, had been done for him to no avail but to relieve his suffering a little. He leaves parents, three brothers, four grandparents and numerous other relatives and friends who will greatly miss him. He was quiet, studious and industrious boy and made friends wherever he went. The funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon by Rev. B.M. Martin, assisted by Rev. H.S. Booth, and the remains were laid to rest in Magnolia Cemetery, amid a profusion of floral offerings contributed by sympathizing friends. Six school boys about his own size and age acted as pall bearers. Mrs.Mary Wallace McCully, wife of John McCully, died at her home on Tuesday, September 6, 1904, after a lingering illness, aged 43 years, and 4 months. The funeral services were at Tabor Church, of which she had been an earnest member for 21 years, were conducted by her pastor, Rev. Herman Goff, assisted by Dr. S.T. Wilson and Prof. Marston. Her fortitude and Christian faith were such as to enable her to give abundant testimony to the sustaining power of divine grace. A bereaved husband and seven children are left to mourn her loss, together with an aged mother and seven brothers and sisters. The funeral services were attended by a large number of sorrowing relatives and friends. I.B. Ziegler of the coffin factory has bought a fine embalming outfit and will embalm bodies so they can be kept indefinitely and shipped to any distance. Townsend---A little daughter of R.L. Wear died of fever last Tuesday night. They have the sympathy of a host of friends. Louisville---Lily, the two-year old daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Adam Finger, died a few days ago, after a lingering illness and her remains were interred in the grave yard at Louisville. Louisville---Mrs. Lacy A. Cox celebrated her 82nd birthday anniversary August 30. No woman of our community is more widely known or better loved than Mrs. Cox. Friday, September 16, 1904 Died at her home in Eugene, Oregon, Lola May, daughter of J.H. and H.E. Pickens, and wife of James E. Martin, September 3, 1904, at 3:45 p.m. Lola Pickens was born near Eugene, May 15, 1883, where she spent her childhood days, afterward moving to Roseburg with her parents and there residing until her marriage to Mr. Martin, September 16, 1903. Miss. Pickens accompanied her mother to Tennessee during the winter of 1901-02 and there made many friends of whom she often spoke. Mr. & Mrs. J.E. Martin lived in their elegant home in Eugene with all the prospects of a happy future before them when sickness overcame the young wife and carried her to the grave. She was always patient and pleasant and bore up cheerfully during her long illness, but typhoid reached out with murderous hands and left her husband, mother, two sisters, five brothers and a host of friends to mourn their loss. The remains were laid away in the Mulkey Cemetery, two miles west of Eugene. Bank---Lizzie Muir of Sevier County died, and was buried Monday. Friday, September 23, 1904 Shooting At Greenback---John Cummings was shot and killed at Greenback Wednesday morning about 11 o'clock by J.A. Covington. He died almost instantly, uttering only a few words. Covington is a saw-mill owner and well-known citizen of Greenback and has been in business there a number of years. Cummings was a workman employed by Covington. The real cause of the tragedy is not definitely known, but it is said that Cummings was about to elope with Covington's wife when Covington appeared on the scene and put a summary stop to the proceedings. After being shot, Cummings said; "Oh, don't shoot me anymore," and expired. He was shot only one time from a pistol. After shooting , Covington continued about his business until the sheriff came from Loudon and took charge of him. Big Springs---Henry Grubbs died at his home in Knoxville last Tuesday and was brought to Salem for burial Wednesday. Friday, September 30, 1904 Mrs. Armstrong, who came here from southern Illinois some time ago to take care of her aunt, was taken with a complication of diseases, and after a short but severe illness, died shortly after noon today. Her daughter who was hurrying to her arrived nearly half an hour after her death. She was a noble, Christian woman and a great worker in the Mission cause among the poor. Rev. Johnson, who with his wife was conducting meetings here a couple of months ago, was taken with heart failure Tuesday in the big meeting at Louisville, and died this morning. He leaves a wife and several small children. Mrs. Maggie Stoner, nee McGinley, died at Knoxville Monday and brought here for burial Tuesday. The funeral services were held at the Baptist Church. Route 2---The sad news of the death of A.P. Smith was received Friday at this place. He was sick only twelve hours. A.P. Smith was an aged man and a solid and true Christian, well liked by all who knew him. He preached his last sermon at Mt. Lebanon before he died on Thursday. During his meeting he was a faithful worker. At the close of his last revival he bid all good-bye. His family has the heart-felt sympathy of their friends. (Compiler's note: Another small article reads that A.P. Smith was of Knox County and had been preaching at Clark's Grove for some time.)

Friday, October 7, 1904 Louisville---The remains of Rev. William Johnson who died Friday were laid to rest Saturday at the Open Door Church. Louisville---The little two-year old daughter of Oscar Prates died Tuesday night and its remains were interred Wednesday afternoon at Holston College. Mrs. Mary T. Armstrong was born near Clover Hill, Blount County, Tennessee, March 4, 1859. Her parents were Robert Strain and Serena Grisham. Her mother and two brothers, James and John, are still living. When she was four years old the family moved to Bond County, Illinois. She was married there, March 18, 1879, to Wesley P. Armstrong. He died November 8, 1883, leaving two children, Blanche and Clyde, to their mother's care. She worked very hard for more than a year to make little farm pay its indebtedness and support the three. Finding this impossible she gave up the farm and turned to the congenial work of the school-room. After a year's teaching at Reno, Illinois, her health failed completely and she was told by physicians that only a change to a milder climate would save her life. She moved with her two children to Eastern Colorado and took up a claim of land. Where here her health slowly returned in spite of the increasing burden of work, and she soon made her influence felt for by establishing a Sabbath School among the cowboys. Later it was found best to send her son back to Illinois to her mother's care while she moved with her daughter to Pueblo, Colorado. She taught school near Pueblo for three years, and found abundant opportunity to do good among her pupils. She joined the Westminster Presbyterian Church in Pueblo, taught in the Sabbath School, and threw herself actively into all the interests of the church and community. When her increasing deafness made it impossible for her to teach she did not despair, but turned courageously to a new work, and supported herself and children by establishing a greenhouse of her own in Pueblo. She was just getting firmly established and on a fair way to prosperity, when she was called back to Illinois to care for her son who had met with an accident so serious as to threaten lingering invalidism. She sold her greenhouse in 1897, and sadly turned her back upon the west and her busy life there. She felt that God had blessed her in her going. He would also bless her in her returning. She took up her life again with her mother and brother on the farm near Reno, Illinois. She planned, she economized, she worked for her children. By precept and example she set before them noble ideas of life. She prayed as only a consecrated mother can pray---for rich spiritual gifts for her children. She came back to the home, the church and the community with a new strength and beauty and sweetness of character born out of life's varied experiences, and her gifts were more fully laid on God's altar for service. Her limitations as to hearing made her only the more rapt listener to the love of friends, the needs of the suffering, the cry of the sorrowing, the service of the house of God. She remained here until March, 1900, when again the call came to move forward. This time it was God's leading that she should come back to her native state and care for her aged aunts living in Maryville, Tennessee. In a beautiful spirit of devotion she entered this home where feebleness and declining years had narrowed the life almost to its little daily round of toil. Quite unconsciencously she brought into the home a renewed interest in the lite of the community, a better knowledge of the enlarging work of the church, and the refreshing influence of her ever widening circle of friends. She brought also into the home her sunny outlook upon life, her broader scope of vision, her deeper interest in the world's best work. When ths shadow of the Angel of Death hung over the home for so many long weeks, it was her loving care that smoothed away the weariness and pain for the aunt she watched tenderly, day and night, till the end came. No loving daughter ever cared for a mother more tenderly than did she for the aged aunt who still survives, having outlived all her immediate family circle. She joined New Providence Presbyterian Church, and, from the first identified herself with its interests; the prayer-meetings, the Sabbath School, the Missionary Society, the church service and the revival. Other interests also claimed her time and service; the Ladies' Aid Society, the Women's Council, the Neighborhood House in town, the Summer School in the mountains, the W.C.T.U., and the Chilhowee Literary Club. To each and all of these she gave her heart's best, carrying inspiration into them, and out from them to bless other lives. She was broad in the truest and best sense of the word, avaining herself of every means of grace, every aid to philanthropy, every incentive to intellectual development. The keynote of her life was a sunny unselfishness of which she was all unconscious in the joy she felt in doing for others. She made a golden ladder by which to mount to Heaven out of life's daily round of toil. She died of erysipelas, after a two week's illness, September 30, 1904. The beauty of her daily life, merged in the valley of the shadow of death into a glorified peace, and faith, and resignation, that made it a hallowed priviledge to watch beside her. Loving friends cared for her, day and night, in her last illness, doing all in their power to alleviate her sufferings. To the last God left her mind clear to commune with others, and leave messages for the dear ones who could not be with her. When the brave heart at last was still, and the rest for which she sighed came, many a heart felt glad, that for a few years at least, here in Maryville, God had lent us the benediction of her noble life as He had lent it to other communities for a widening circle of widening influence. God called her away from Tennessee, in early childhood, when the dark shadow of a war cloud hung over the Southland. He brought her back when the peace lay upon its hills and valleys. She lies buried in Magnolia Cemetery, in Maryville, Tennessee. It is fitting that her last resting place should be in the sacred soil of her devout, pioneer ancestors in the valley of East Tennessee. Out of the shadow and storm, and stress of life, its many broken plans, its unceasing ministry for others, she came at last to the peace of the Valley of the Shadow of Death, through it entering into that blessed life where "they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint." M.E.H. Friday, October 14, 1904 Bank---Much rejoicing was indulged by the residents when Mr. DeLozier's old, white sow succumbed to the ravages of the cholera germs, but even in her severest paroxysms her fondness for chicken never left her. It is estimated that she ate more than two hundred chickens this season, belonging to different neighbors. Cades Cove---Tom Brown was at home last week out of jail. He said he felt like a bird turned out of a cage. We are afraid he will not feel quite so well by the time they get through with him at court. Friday, October 21, 1904 Sudden Death---There is great mourning in dog-dom this morning. In the darkness of the night the destroyer went abroad and as the sun crawled over the Great Smokies this morning its early raps revealed the corpses of six or seven dogs, stiff in death, strewn about the streets of our beautiful town. Death had come to them without regard to age, size, color or previous conduct. There were large dogs and small dogs, black dogs and yellow dogs, brindle dogs and spotted dogs. The only points they all had in common were that they had been in the habit of barking at the passers-by, and that they were now dead. Poison is supposed to have been the means used. Requiescat in Pacem. Only two votes were cast in Georgia in 1860 for Lincoln. One of the voters, Uncle "Billy" Bowers is still living in Franklin, Georgia, and is nearly 80 years of age. He was born in Georgia, and went to the place where he now resides when he was 3 years old. Louisville---Stokely Hollifield, who was formerly mail messenger at this place, died and was buried at Holston College a few days ago. The many friends of William Franklin Cummings, who formerly lived at this place, will regret to hear of the death of his wife which occurred at Los Angeles, California, a few days ago.

Friday, November 4, 1904 Sarah Lawrence was born December 1, 1820, in Blount County, Tennessee, and lived in Blount County all her life except a short time in infancy when her parents lived in McMinn County. At the age of fourteen, she professed religion and united with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, living a consistent Christian life all her days. In November, 1843, she was united in marriage with James Montgomery, who departed this life in March, 1897. Her last illness was of long duration, but through it all she manifested Christian fortitude and patience, which had characterized her whole life. She always had a good word for everyone and was never known to say anything unpleasant of anyone. All who knew her were her friends. Her step children loved her as dearly as her own children, and she in turn knew no difference between them. She suffered from cancer, which caused her death on Tuesday morning, November 1, 1904, at the age of 83 years and 11 months. She leaves 5 daughters, three her own and two step-daughters. Two brothers, William Lawrence and Joe Lawrence, a sister, Mrs. Curtis, survive her, as well as ten grandchildren and fourteen great grandchildren. Since the death of her husband she had made her home with her daughter, Mrs. W.B. Howard, and had lived in Maryville the past six months. The funeral services were conducted by Dr. S.T. Wilson Tuesday afternoon, and the remains laid to their last rest in Trigonia Cemetery, Wednesday.

Friday, November 11, 1904 Flora McGinley, wife of Dr. Lee McConnell, who died in Oklahoma Tuesday of last week, was brought here for burial.

Mrs. McConnell was a bright and earnest Christian and is mourned by her many friends here. Dock Walton, a farmer of Claiborne County, was shot and killed Monday evening as a result of a quarrel over politics. Bank---William Chandler, colored, of Sevier County was arrested on a charge of bigamy preferred by wife No. 1, before Esquire French. The warrant was served by deputy sheriff James DeLozier and Chandler was arraigned before Squire French and bound over to court. Chandler left his wife whom he married in Sevier County and came down here and married Susan Black without bothering about the formality of divorce from his first wife who did not see any fun in that. Friday, November 18, 1904 A two inch snow Sunday morning was a great surprise for this section where snow usually does not fall until late December. In the low-lands it all disappeared by evening, but the mountains still retain a fair covering if it which helps to beautify them at a distance. East Side---Joseph Hatcher of Miller's Cove was a visitor here this week, on his way to Powell's Station to see a brother whom he had not visited for nine years. Robert Cupp got a thumb into the cut-off saw at Irwin's Mill Thursday afternoon and nearly severed it. The boys say the saw was running too fast for the work in hand and he put his thumb on to reduce the speed but it was not a good brake. Sweet Community---Mrs. Jane Bryant died last Sunday morning. The remains were buried Monday afternnon in the Myer's Cemetery. Mentor---After a lingering illness, Willie McFadden died at his home near Mentor Friday morning at 8 o'clock and was buried at Mt.

Bank---Catherine McHenry died at her home after a lingering illness and was buried at Bethlehem Cemetery on Wednesday, November 30. Bank---We learn from Tobe Henry of the narrow escape from serious injury of Robert Sharp in Georgia several months ago. Mr. Henry was showing a minister a fine mare when Mr. Sharp inadvertently slapped the animal on the hip, startling the animal so that she kicked Mr. Sharp down and at the same time struck and opened the faucet of a nearby hydrant, coming perilously near deluging Sharp with water. Bank---James Churchill and Wade Haggard, each about 12 years old, were out hunting on Thanksgiving Day when in a spirit of fun, young Churchill told Haggard to shoot at him since he could not hit birds, whereupon Haggard fired at him, the bullet, a 22 short, entering Churchill's hip from the rear, and coming out in front after passing through four and one half inches of the fleshy part of the hip, causing a painful, although not dangerous wound. If the bullet had entered two iches higher, the result probably would have been fatal. Young Haggard was much perturbed over the wounding of his play fellow. This accident serves to illustrate the great danger that lurks in the wanton and reckless handling of guns by thoughtless youths. Friday, December 9, 1904 Ross Wilson, a colored man living in the lower part of town, died Tuesday as a result of a paralytic stroke he suffered about two years ago. He has been entirely bedfast for a year. The funeral was conducted by the colored Masons Wednesday afternoon and the remains laid to rest on Methodist Hill.

Boyd, a former citizen of this city, died Wednesday, and the remains were brought here for burial this morning. He was about twenty-eight years old. Bro. W.A. Catlett had quite an exciting experience last Monday morning at the home of one of his parishioners. On rising he pulled his trousers on when something began to scratch and wriggle at his knee inside the trousers. A terrible shuffling and stamping on the floor and plenty of yelling soon brought his frightened host to his assistance and between them they mangaed to shake a mouse from the leg of Brother Catlett's Sunday trousers. He cautiously examines them each morning before donning them. Springfield---Mrs. J.L. Morgan died of dropsy at her home half a mile south of here Sunday night and was buried at Trigonia Tuesday.

Murray of Clover Hill, died at his home on Sunday, December 11, 1904, aged 21 years and nearly 7 months. His illness followed an attack of measles which after a few months resulted in consumption and rapidly ran its course. He was a young man of sterling qualities, respected and loved. For a number of years he was a student in Maryville College. He was engaged to teach the school near his home, but was soon compelled by failing health to resign his position. When but thirteen years of age he was received into the Clover Hill Presbyterian Church and until his death continued an active and consistent member in the church and Sabbath School. The funeral services at Clover Hill Church on December 12 were conducted by the pastor, Rev. Herman A. Goff, assisted by President S.T. Wilson D.D. Although the day was cold and disagreeable a very large congregation attended the services. Besides a large circle of relatives and friends, his father, mother and one brother are left to mourn his death. Friday, December 23, 1904 Died on Thursday, December 15, 1904, of neuralgia of the heart, at his home near Friendsville, Tennessee, E.H. Dunlap, aged 72. Mr. Dunlap was born February 21, 1833, and raised in this county. All his life was spent on the farm. He belonged to a family of twelve children, of which two brothers and a sister still survive him. His family all live to a ripe, old age, their average age being 74 years. With three still living the average will run pretty close to 75. Mr. Dunlap leaves a widow and eight children, five boys and three girls, W.A. Dunlap of this city being the oldest. The rest live near Friendsville, except one, the oldest girl, who lives at Tipton, Indiana, and married Dr. J.J. Herron. The children are all married except the three youngest boys, who are grown men and are at home with their mother. Mr. Dunlap was a member of the Friends Church at Friendsville and has always lives a consistent Christian life. He had said a number of times just prior to his death that he was ready to go any time the Master called. His death was very sudden. He had just been out feeding his stock, and came in to sit in his arm chair before the fire and went to sleep. One of the boys was sitting near him reading and noticed him drop his hand to his side. Thinking that something was wrong he went over and asked if he wanted anything, but he was dead. He died without a struggle. He was laid to rest in the Friends Cemetery at Friendsville. His children were all present. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Lindley Jones of Friendsville. Friday, March 31, 1905 Bank---On Sunday morning, March 5, 1905, the dark-winged angel of death entered the home of our brother, C.C. Haggard, and claimed as its victim their second son, Wallace. Little Wallace had just passed through the lane of life of eleven summers and during so short a period of life he had attained the respect and admiration of old and young, and quit the walks of this life bearing the name of a good boy. He was the pride of his parents, and no doubt his parents had looked forward with interest to his future welfare. He was the companion and pleasure of his brothers and sisters and a welcome playmate with neighbor's children. Little Wallace will not only be missed by his parents and little brothers and sisters, but also by his Sunday School teacher to whom he was a devoted scholar. But just at the time when the parents thought they could not do without this dear boy, God saw fit to remove him from earth to Heaven where all will be joy and happiness. We can only say with the Psalmist David, "We cannot bring him back, but we can go to him." W.C. Harris, A.M. DeLozier, G.P. Jeffries.

During the first year of the Civil War he came to Sullivan County, in upper East Tennessee, and there was married to Miss. Susan White. To this union three children were born, one daughter and two sons. The two sons survive him and were present at his last illness. From Sullivan County he came to Blount County, in 1870, and has remained a resident of this county ever since, except two years spent in Monroe County.

His second companion died September 1, 1893, and he married for a third time on April 3, 1895, this time to Miss. Katie Ashley of Charleston, Bradley County, Tennessee. His third companion, four sons and one daughter survive him. In early life, while yet in Virginia he became religious, and joined the German Baptist Brethern, better known as Dunkards. He was a deacon in this church most of his religious life and died a member of Oakland Church, six miles below Maryville. He was not only a church member, but a religious man and lived to see most of his children in the church and his oldest son a minister in the church of his choice. His occupation was that of farmer and carpenter and he was fond of music and flowers. He was an honest man and of even temper. The funeral services were held Sunday afternoon by Rev. B.M. Martin, assisted by Dr. S.T. Wilson and Rev. Samuel Haworth, and Rev. Klepper of Big Springs, and the remains were laid to rest in Magnolia Cemetery.
