      R.S. McLemore

      Died:--At his home near Wheeling, La., June 15, 1906, R. S. McLemore, age 75 years, 8 months and 24 days.

      His remains were interred at Mt. Zion Cemetery June 16.

      He died where he and had lived for thirty-nine years, and wehre he reared all his family. His troubles were complicated and either one of them were sufficient to cause death.

      The deceased was a true and loving husband and a kind and faithful father. He was a noted Christian, and a peacemaker among men. He was loyal to his country, having served four years in the Confederate Army. God, in his wisdom, saw fit to tak him away, but oh! how sad to part with one so near and dear.

      He leaves a wife and ten children and a host of dear friends to mourn his death.
