George Hopkins of Elm Springs was up Tuesday and informed us of the death of Uncle Billy Pyeatt which occurred at his home at that place Sunday afternoon. Deceased was about 80 years of age and had resided at Elm Springs for thirty years. He leaves a wife and some seven or eight children. He had been a member of the M.E. Church, South for fifty years and was one of Washington County's oldest and most honored citizens. The remains were interred in the cemetery at Elm Springs Monday. Services were held at the Methodist Church, being conducted by Dr. Summers and the crowd was so large they could not all find entrance. It was one of the most largely attended funerals ever in Elm Springs.
