- Death of an Old Citizen.
W.P. Myles, Esq., living near this place, died last Wednesday evening. He had been living in our midst quite a number of years, coming here from Kentucky. He was one of the most prominent and influential men in our county, and was respected and esteemed by all. Indeed, his honor, integrity and unwavering defense of what was right were proverbial, and the universal expressions of regret at his death attest that no man stood higher in the community than he. In his death society has last an ornament, his family a devoted husband and father and the community one of its most valuable members. He was buried at 2 o'clock Thursday with Masonic honors, the different Lodges of the county participating in the burial rites.
