Whitsitt of Lebanon, were held before a large gathering of sorrowing relatives and friends at the Mt. Hope church Thursday afternoon, and the body laid to rest beside his wife and infant son, in the cemetery nearby. Rev. Whitsitt used Psalms 39:13 as his text.
He lived many years in Logan township, before going to Cheyenne county to make their home about fourteen years ago, so he had many friends in Smith county.
