W. M. Cardwell, aged 84 years, 11 months and 12 days, died at his home near Oak Forest, at 2 o'clock Tuesday morning, and the interment will take place Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock in Kings cemetery, 9 miles west of Gonzales. The decedent, who was one of the oldest citizens in the county, came here about 1877 from Caldwell county, and is survived by seven children as follows: O. T. Caldwell, sheriff of Uvalde county, John Caldwell, Buda, Hays county, W. H. and J. T. Cardwell, Gonzales county, Mrs. M. H. Scoggins and Mrs. A. A. Talley, Gonzales county and Mrs. W. A. Jarvis, Junction City, Texas.
While Mr. Cardwell was well advanced in years, he was in fairly good health. He ate supper as usual and at 1:30 o'clock called to his daughter, Mrs. Scoggins and stated that his feet were growing cold. After ministering to him, she left him, but a short time afterward she and her husband were again awakened and when they reached the room were horrified to find him in the throes of death.
He was a good Christian man, and was popular with those who knew him, and leaves many friends who will learn of his death with sorrow.
