Lewis Hollingsworth was born April 14, 1864 and died January 8, 1894, being something less than 30 years of age.
The deceased was a member of the Tennessee Baptist Church, and had been for about 10 years previous to his death, and when the time came for the separation he was ready for the change, feeling assured that he had a house made with hands eternal in the heavens. About 6 years ago he was married to Miss M.O. Dugger and the twain becoming one in the bond of holy wedlock, they lived happily together until unsatiated death cut the silver cord.
His disease was that ever to be dreaded, and ever increasing malady, consumption, with all its attendant consequences. He had been complaining for some months, but had not been confined to his room, perhaps, for more than 2 months, in which time he suffered intensely, and failed rapidly until relief came in death. It is safe to say he had not an enemy in the world.
The funeral services were held the 19th at his house of worship, and were very largely attended, J.H. Rusmisel, a former pastor, officiating, after which the remains were interred in the Toronto Cemetery.
