Mr. W. M. Brister died Tuesday evening at his home near Royal post office in ward 3 from a complication of measles and pneumonia, after an illness of only a few days. He was about 40 years old and leaves a family. His death is a distinct loss to the community in which he lived, as he was a good citizen.

On the night of May 16, 1904, the angel of death visited our neighborhood and took from our midst W. M. Brister, who leaves a wife, six children, mother, three sisters and two brothers, besides a host of other relatives and friends to mourn his death.
The deceased was truthful and honest and well liked by all. Being of a jovial nature, he always met his acquaintances with a smile and friendly word.
He joined the Missionary Baptist church about three years ago and was an active member up to his death. He told the writer many times that he wanted a religion that would do to die by; that he did not want the kind that would only last through Sundays.
He was afflicted with measles which resulted in pneumonia and only lived nine days after taking ill. It was painful to see him suffer death, but he was only paying the debt we all owe and must settle, was 41 years, 4 months and 4 days old at the time of his death.
The writer extends tenders sympathy to the bereaved family.
A FRIEND.
