Death of Rev. E. P. Douglass
It becomes our melancholy duty to this issue of The Leader to make the above sad announcement, death having come to this true and good man and his home in this county on Monday night about 8 o'clock, after nearly 4 months of suffering. The funeral took place at the family residence yesterday afternoon and was largely attended bgy sorrowing relatives and friends. The ceremony at the residence was solemnly conducted by Rev. R. J. Bonne, and feeling tributes were paid to the life and character of the dead by Revs. J. J. Green, I. H. Anding and R. H. Purser, his brethren in the ministry, and by B. T. Hobbs. After these services the body was turned over to representatives of the Wesson Masonic Lodge, headed by Capt. A. T. Woodin, and buried in the family grave-yard near by in accordance with the beautiful and impressive Masonic ritual.
The occasion was one of the saddest we have ever witnessed. Every friend and relative in that mournful audience seemed to be silently asking, "When shall we look upon his like again?" with no one to answer.
In the next issue of The Leader we will publish an extended sketch of the life and character of this faithful and beloved servant of God. Meantime we tender to his heart-broken family and kindred our profoundest sympathy and condolence.
