FUNERAL AT LIBERTY CEMETERY.
Remains of Tom Michner Brought Here for Burial From Houston.
From Friday's Daily.
This morning the remains of Tom Michner arrived in this city from Houston where he died yesterday morning from old age, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Cora Clements. The remains were taken to Liberty burial grounds and enterred about noon after services conducted by Rev. J.H. Nicholson of this city. A number of old friends in the city accompanied the remains to their last resting place beside the loved companion of other years. His wife died in 1900 and was buried at Liberty.
Mr. Mitchner (sic) was nearly 82 years of age and he had lived in the state over fifty years. He was a citizen of Hunt county forty years or more. He moved to Houston some two years ago. He is remembered by all of the older people of the city as he resided during his residence in the county a few miles east of the city.
He was a member of the Methodist church and had been for many years. All of his family have moved away except two granddaughters, Mrs. Fred Smith of this city and Mrs. G.S. Robbins who lives east of the city.
The Banner sympathizes with the bereaved.
--------------------------------------------
The name "Mitchiner" was mis-spelled in the newspaper article. (Liberty Cemetery in Hunt County, Greenville, TX). Tom Mitchiner's full name was Thomas William Mitchiner. He was born in 1828 in Georgia and died on 30 September 1909 in Texas. His wife's name was Nancy A. V. Couch. Nancy was born in 1840 in Georgia and she died on 4 December 1901 (not 1900) in Texas. Nancy A. V. Couch and Thomas William Mitchiner married on 20 May, 1859 in Randolph County, Georgia.
Thomas W. Mitchiner (b. 1828 in Georgia and d. Sep. 30, 1909 in Texas) served in the 47th AL, Co. K, was a prisoner of war, and was paroled at Appomattox April 1865. He was a Forty-Niner along with two of his brothers. Thomas William Mitchiner and his wife, Nancy, are listed with their three daughters in the 1870 Tallapoosa Co., AL Census, and they left shortly thereafter for Hunt County, Texas, where Thomas William Mitchiner's oldest sister, Mary W. Rumph, and her husband, David Rumph, and family had located from Randolph County, Georgia.
