He had been confined to his home since late in July when he suffered a stroke of paralysis and had gradually grown worse, having another stroke recently.

Lincecum of West Columbia and J. L. Lincecum of San Antonio.
A young son, George Lincecum aged about 14 years, preceded his father in death in 1901.

At the age of sixteen he moved with his parents from Washington county to Liberty Hill, Texas. There he made his home for years and it as there on November 20, 1884 he was united in marriage to Miss Fanny Stubblefield, who survives him.
It was in 1895, thirty-six years ago, that Mr. and Mrs. Lincecum moved to Gonzales where they have made there home ever since, rearing their family here. Mr. Lincecum went into the mercantile business and had conducted a general merchandise store here for years in is own building on North St. Paul St., this being one of the oldest established firms in Gonzales.
Possessing those traits essential to a sterling citizenship, his life actuated by the noblest Christian principles, he enjoyed the love and esteem of all who knew him and his acquaintance was very wide as he had host of friends all over the county and this section as well as in Gonzales.
In their bereavement the family will have the deep sympathy of a host of friends. The funeral has been set for Sunday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock when services will be conducted at the family residence by the family pastor, Rev. J. T. King of the First Methodist church.
Gonzales paid its final tribute earthy tribute to the memory of a venerable resident of years standing on Sunday after when all that was mortal of George Durham Lincecum was committed to its final resting place in the Masonic cemetery.
Especially touching and beautiful we're the services conducted at the family residence at 4:30 o'clock in the presences of a large concourse of sorrowing friends and relatives assembled, a representative gathering of the citizenship of town and county, besides numerous relatives and friends from a distance.
Conducting the services was Rev. J. T. King, pastor of the First Methodist church, the family pastor, who read the beautiful church ritual for the dead and gave a sketch of Mr. Lincecum life, paying warm tribute to his memory, the long and useful life he had led, his faith in the Saviour in whom he had place his trust.

A beautiful quartet number was rendered by S. P. Griffin, a brother-in-law, and W. G. E., W. E. and P. P. Griffin, three nephews, all of Austin, who sang, Tennyson's "Crossing the Bar."
The acting pallbearers included Geo. Ewing Sr., J. C. Newberry, K. A. Jones, Bennett Botts, Frank Wilson, Arthur Dawe, B. B. Hoskins Jr., and Chas. F. Holmes.
