John McPierce Falls, 64, son of the late Jeremiah and Elizabeth Falls, of Roseland, Nelson County, died at his home near Lyndhurst June 22 at 5:30 p.m. He had been in failing health for more than a year, and very ill of heart trouble for the past four months.
He united with the Christian Church in his youth and remained faithful. He was an honest, upright citizen, always interested in any cause that was for the upbuilding of his community.

His wife survives, with three sons by his first marriage, James Monroe Falls of Waynesboro; Layman and Laythan Falls of Dillwyn.
Other surviving relatives are two brothers, A. C. Falls of Vesuvius; Chas. Falls, Roseland; two sisters, Mrs. U. S. Campbell, Lyndhurst, and Miss Margaret E. Falls of Lynchburg, also a number of nieces and nephews.
Funeral services were conducted from Sherando M. E. Church Saturday afternoon, June 24th at 2 o'clock by the pastor the Rev. E. R. Thayer, assisted by the Rev. Jacob F. Replogle, pastor of Mt. Vernon Church of the Brethren. Hymns rendered by the choir were, "Jesus Lover of My Soul," "I've Anchored My Soul in the Haven of Rest," and "Rock of Ages."
