(From "Blue County Democrat" Durant, Indian Territory)
Wm. C. Darden left his home Monday morning to begin a week's work cheerful and full of hope, the picture of good health and happiness. Tuesday morning his wife at her home in Durant, received a telephone message from a friend in Ardmore, stating that her husband was found on a street in Ardmore at three Monday afternoon in an apparently dying condition. He was carried to Hardy and McNeice's Sanitarium, where all that medical science could do was done to alleviate his suffering. After lingering between life and death till 7 o'clock, Tuesday morning, he passed away.
W. C. Darden and his brother, J. B. Darden, moved here from Ardmore a year ago and engaged in the insurance business and were meeting with great success.
He was in the prime of life, just passed the 32nd year, gifted in the ways that readily made friends of those with home he came in contact, kind and generous to every fault, makes his sudden demise a sad occurrence. He was a sufferer at times with his heart and this was from particulars learned, the cause of his death. He and his wife, with his brother, originally came from LaFayette, Alabama, the son of Col. Wm. C. and Carrie Holstun Darden, one of the most prominent and highly connected families in that state.
Mr. Darden carried insurance to the amount of $2,500. He had no children.
Mrs. Darden and J. B. Darden left Ardmore Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock with the remains, for LaFayette, Alabama, the home of his boyhood and where his remains will be laid to rest to await the Great Awakening.
The remains were interred in the LaFayette Cemetery Saturday afternoon, the ceremony performed by Rev. I. G. Murray and witnessed by a host of sympathetic friends and relatives.

Christian and Gordon Musgrove, of Prattville, Ala; Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Darden, of Oneonta, Ala.; Messrs. Robert Darden and Hud Musgrove, of Birmingham.
