Mrs. W. H. JOHNSON died at her home here Wednesday afternoon
about 3 o�clock from a long and protracted illness of
consumption. She was some sixty odd years of age, and had resided
here just a little over a year, moving here with her husband and
children from Martin in the fall of 1902. She was a highly
respected lady and during the period of her illness endured the
pain and suffering with wonderful patience and fortitude,
resigned and awaiting the final summons and ready and willing to
enter the eternal rest. Just a little while before she expired,
she called her husband, daughter and three sons to the bedside
and in a touching manner bade them farewell, stating that all
was well with her; that her prayers were answered and requested
them to meet her in heaven. The remains were laid to rest in the
Methodist cemetery Thursday afternoon. She was a good neighbor,
a faithful wife and a fond mother, truly a good woman has gone
to claim her just reward.
She leaves a host of friends and relatives in Weakley county to
mourn her death.

was die to the hard work of a few
level headed men that
Hardeman Bros. store was saved.,
however, a large hole
was burned in one side of his
building. The fire started
about 11 o�clock in the night
and was well under way
when the alarm was given. A
defective flue is supposed
to have been the origin. We
do not know if Templeton
& Co. will rebuild and enter
business again or not,
they themselves do not know yet.
The mail is still being
handled by Mr. C.C. TEMPLETON.

known citizens died last
Sunday night at the home of
his son Charley THOMPSON.
Deceased was 79 years of age
and had been sick only
a week. An operation was performed
on him Sunday moring,
but too late to save his life. Mr. THOMPSON was
generous, kind
and a man of firm
convictions; he was true
to his friends; a devout
christian and daily sought
his Bible for spirtual
strength; he was a man
whom to know was to esteem and his
demise has bereaved the
entire community. The following
children survive him:
Charley THOMPSON, Mrs. John
COLEMAN, Martin; Mrs.

Our good friend, John M. DUKE, of near Martin, tells us of a
serious accident that
befell Mr, Tom BATTS last Friday
near the home of Mr.
Mack KILLGORE. Tom was returning
home with an unloaded
log wagon, and was sitting on a
front bolster; he lost
his balance and fell in front of
the wheels, both front
and hind wheels running over his
body, breaking four ribs
on the right side. He was taken
to the home of Mack KILLGORE
and Dr. Sebastian was
immediately dispatched
for. The injury was dressed and
the doctor thinks he
will recover, though painfully hurt.
Mr. BSTTS was able Tuesday
to be removed to his home in
the twentieth district.
Aunt Nancy McLEAN, who, beyond a doubt, was the oldest person
in the county, died at
the home of her son, near Latham,
on last Sunday. Aunt
Nancy was one hundred and five years
old at the time of her
death, which occurred very suddenly,though
some claim she was older
than that. Aunt
Nancy had lived at the
place where she died for sixty
years, and though very
feeble, was a willing talker and
nothing pleased her better
than a chat with friends, and
we have been told that
she, in her declining years, was particularly
fond of the company
of young people.
Her life had been consecrated
to God, and her good deeds
are an everlasting monument
to her. The following
children survive her:
W. A. McLEAN, Martin; Dave McLEAN,

Death of a Good Woman
After a long and painful illness, Mrs. Nancy McMURRY breathed
her last at the home of her daughter, Mrs. C. P. MEADOWS in
Dresden, on last Friday morning. Death came rather unexpectly
though her condition had been serious for several days.
The deceased was born in Garrard county, Ky., March 19, 1834;
died Dec. 18, 1903, aged 69 years. She was the daughter of Peter
and Nancy YATER. She moved with her parents to Sumner county
when a child and lived there until her marriage to W. H. McMURRY,
who survived her, on Nov. 16, 1857, when she moved to Obion
county residing there until 1888, moving to Gardner. Mrs. McMURRY
resided at the latter place until a few months before her death,
when she and her husband came here to reside with their daughter,
Mrs. C. P. MEADOWS, on account of her failing health.
She was the mother of eight children, only three of whom survive
her Mesdames H. L. HILL and C. P. MEADOWS, of Dresden, Willis
CHAMBERS, of Martin.
The funeral was Sunday morning at the MEADOWS home, conducted by
Revs. STEWARD and RUSSELL, after which interment took place at
Dresden cemetery.
Mrs. McMURRY had been a devout member of the Methodist church
since early in life and early in life and had devoted herself to
the cause of christianity. She was indeed a good woman in the
fullest sense of the term and her demise is deplored by many
friends. The sympathy of this community goes out to the bereaved
family.

BELL, of Gardner, was severly
burned, resulting in
death a few days later. Before

young father instituted
habeas corpus proceedings for the
restoration of his child
to himself, his mother-in-law
refusing to restore it
to him. The case was heard before

to visit his offspring
at will.
