ANOTHER OLD SOLDIER PASSES AWAY


The community was saddened by the sudden and unexpected death of J. A. McCarty. Last we mentioned that Mr. McCarty was one of the only remaining old soldiers to survive in the county and at the time of going to press he was well and happy.


On Tuesday he had been in Greenwood to attend the funeral of his comrade, J. H. Christmas and on Wednesday he suffered a stroke which ended his earthly career, death coming Sunday afternoon about four o'clock. He was unconscious from the time of the stroke until his death.


Funeral services were held from the local M. E. Church yesterday afternoon at 2:30, Rev. Grandy of Arkansaw preaching the funeral sermon. The body was laid to rest in the Greenwood cemetery.


Deceased, together with his wife, resided with their son and his family on a farm near Longwood. Last winter Mr. and Mrs. MCCARTY resided in this city.


A complete obituary will be printed in next week's issue of the Gleaner.


One by one the old soldiers in this vicinity have passed away until today we know of only one who remains and that is Charles Hogue who resides with his son, W. E. Hogue.
