VETERAN CALLED BY GREAT REAPER

The entire town and community were profoundly shocked last Thursday morning
when it was announced that Mr. Dack Pounds was dead, having passed away early
in the day at the home of his son Forney Pounds. Mr. Pounds was one of the
best known and most highly respected citizens, and had lived in Cleburne all
his life with the exception of a few years spent in Marshall County.

Mr. Pounds was born August 5, 1840, therefore was 81 years, 2 months and 1 day
old at the time of his death. He had been married three times, the first wife
being Miss Eliza Scott; the second wife Miss Odelia Jane Burgess and his third
wife being Miss Frances Wigley. He and his second wife were converted about
1880 and joined the Methodist church and remained with that church until after
his wife died; and after his marriage to Miss Wigley he united with the Baptist
church at Pine Grove. He lived an upright christian life and was an old
Confederate veteran, having served full time in the war between the states.

Mr. Pounds was made a Mason at the age of 25 at Arbacoochee and it was with
Masonic honors he was laid to rest in the cemetery at Pine Grove on Friday,
the F.P. Owens Co. having charge of the funeral arrangements.
Besides many friends, five children survive. Rev. G.B. Boman officiated at
the interment. The News extends sympathy to the bereaved
