His mother went to his bedside, and on Thursday night Dr. G. B. Nance went down to see him. Mr. Walter Sanders went on Sunday. the body was brought home last night, and funeral was held at the Baptist church this morning by the pastor, Mr. Craig. Two representative of the Euzelia Society, two from the Baracca Clas of which he was a member, and two from the Philmathesian Society of the college, Dr. E. W. Sikes and Mrs. Sanders accompanied the remains home. The young men acted as pall bearers.
The deceased was eighteen years old last April. This was his first year at college. On reaching there at the opening of the session he was the first student to put his church letter in there. He was a loyal member of the Baracca class, and a young man of fine prospects. His untimely death is not only a shock to his family but to the school and to hundreds of friends. He was a generous, open hearted boy, loved by all his acquaintances.
