Following a stroke of paralysis on Feb. 23, after which he was taken to the Gaines hospital, B.R. Moon, aged resident of Wheeler county for several years, passed away late Thursday afternoon of last week. Deceased had made his home for the past two years with Mr. and Mrs. W.B. Bland, a mile north of town.

He was a quiet, kindly man, well liked by all who knew him. Friends say that his agreeable disposition and uniform good humor made him a pleasant companion and acquaintance.
