A 15 year old son of Mr. COFFMAN, living in the northern part
        of this county, accidently killed himself with a pistol.
Mr. C. W. COTTRELL and wife and Miss Hattie ROOKS got in from

F. M. JENKINS and Nora HENDREN

Mrs. Albertine TERRY, wife of G. M. TERRY, Esq. of Sharon died
        very suddenly last Tuesday of heart disease. Squire
        TERRY left her that morning in her usual apparent good
        health and her death was a great shock to all who know
        her. Mr. TERRY was about 40 years old and leaves a
        husband, six or seven children, and a mother besides
        numerous other relatives.
A 17 years old son of Mr. D. E. PHILPOT of Martin, was found
        drowned in a small pond near the family residence last
        Tuesday morning in water not over 18 inches deep. It
        seems that the young man had started after a plough and
        his long absence caused uneasiness and a search for him
        resulting in the ghastly discovery. It is suppposed that
        he fell into the pond during a spasm, as he was subject
        to attacks of that kind.

BROCK who lives three or four miles west of Sharon catalogues the

        misfortune
No estimate can be made of the money lost. 

Mr George MONTGOMERY made a narrow escape when the abutement
        gave away on the first bridge north of Covington�s mill.
        George who cannot swim, siezed hold of the bridge behind
        him and his horse was swept away.
Boz WINSTON, one of the oldest and most responsible and perhaps
        best known colored man is the county, having been
        miller at the Northeast mill many years, died very
        suddenly yesterday morning. He was more than four score
        years old.

Friday, April 14, 1893    THE DRESDEN ENTERPRISE

This issue contained a copy of the speech, Weakley Long Ago,
given by John A. GARDNER in Dresden July 4th 1876.
It tells about early pioneer life - a gold mine of surnames!

On the 5th inst., I was called to Martin to unite in Holy
Wedlock, my old and tried friend, John A. COLE, of Paducah,
Ky., and Mrs. M. A. BRIGHTWELL, at the residence of the bride,
3 miles south of Martin. The night was delightfully spent with
E. J. LOONEY and wife. This old couple, bowed by the weight
of years, are slowly moving down the mountain slope that looks
to the sunset of life.    D. C. Johnson 

Mrs Elizabeth McLEAN died at her home near Dresden on the 29th.
after an illness of 16 months, leaving a husband to mourn her
loss. She was a devoted wife and true Christian, bearing her 
sufferings with great fortitude. By her death, the Baptist 
Church at Cornith loses a most valuable member. 

The sudden death of Mr. Gilbert PATTERSON near Greenfield on
the 31st ult, removed one of the very few remaining pioneers of
Weakley County who life was co-extensive with the formation and
development of the county. Mr. PATTERSON was 86 years old and
had lived 63 years with his wife who died in January 1892. He 
had been in the county about sixty years, and settled at the
homestead near Greenfield many years ago, where he died. He was
a very active spirit in the development of the county, and has
many a time gone ten miles before breakfast to help a neighbor
roll logs. Mr. PATTERSON held a warm place in the hearts of the
people, bearing the same relation to his community that the late
Reuben EDMONSTON did to his. He was long a consistent member of
the Methodist Church. He left several daughters and two sons, J.
W. and A. J. PATTERSON, making his home with the latter. The old
pioneer was active up to the day of his death. He had just
returned from the field and taken a seat in the house when he
fell from his chair and soon expired from heart trouble.
