Mr. Hence Poe, an old settler near Mansfield was buried here Wednesday.

HENCE POE DEAD.

Hence Poe an old and well known citizen living between here and Mansfield died Tuesday after several weeks sickness. The interment took place Wednesday evening at Johnson Station. Several people came down here from Ft. Worth, who with others from here drove down to the funeral. Mr. Poe was a man of strongly marked personality. He was a wholesouled generous man; one who made many friends and always stuck to them through thick and thin. During his long residence here he has acquired considerable property. He was a stockholder and director in the Bank of Mansfield at Mansfield and in the Arlington National Bank of this place. Notwithstanding all this, he always preferred his farm and country home to city life. He had a magnificent country home, was fond of the hunt and chase, always kept a pack of fine dogs, and was a great entertainer of his friends from the towns and cities when they found time to get off for a hunt. Many will hear with sorrow of the passing away of this unique character.

JOHN C. ROY DEAD.

John C. Roy an old and highly respected citizen passed away Saturday at 1 o'clock.

For nearly a year Mr. Roy has been practically confined to his room as a result of a paralytic stroke. He suffered much, but bore it bravely. Much compassion has been felt for him in his long suffering, and when the announcement was made Saturday morning that he had passed away the whole city took on a tinge of sadness, while relatives and those intimately acquainted with the fine old gentleman, bowed in deepest grief. Mr. Roy has lived a long, useful and successful life among this people. Raised a large family of honorable children, amassed a nice fortune, has aided vastly in the material development, was a mason of high standing, and during the 60's served in the defense of his south land against the northern foe.

The high esteem in which he was held by his neighbors of a half century's acquaintance was attested by the large concourse of people gathered at the C.P. church Sunday morning to pay their last tribute of respect to the departed one, and the lavish floral offerings that wreathed the bier at the church, and later the grave at the cemetery. The funeral services at the church were conducted by Rev. W.B. Fitzhugh, after which the remains were carried to Johnson Station and laid to rest by the side of his wife who preceded him several years ago.

The masons conducted the burial according to the beautiful ritual of the order, occupying almost 2 hours. All his children, 8 in number were with him during his last illness, Will Roy of Mississippi arriving only a short time before his death.

Quite a number of friends came down from Ft. Worth to attend the funeral, among whom were Judge and Mrs. Mike E. Smith, Mrs. James Anderson, Senator Will Hanger, Chief of Police Will Rea, Sheriff John Honea, Deputy Sheriff Walter Roark, County Attorney Jeff D. McLean, Congressman O.W. Gillispie, Atty. W.B. Scott, J.K. Winston, Atty. T.W. Dunn, Ed Elliott Deputy County Clerk, R.C. Armstrong Jr., Mr. Renfro Cashier of the American National Bank, and Mr. and Mrs. Joe Roy, Judge Terrell, District Clerk Martin and County Clerk Rogers.

In the notice of Col. Roy's death last week the Journal gave the number of children as 8, when it should have been 9. It was merely an inadvertence and we gladly correct it.

Word has been received here that Mrs. M.E. Chappell, wife of Rev. M.E. Chappell, died at Brownwood on the 24th inst. The remains were carried to Indiana for interment.

Even in the midst of joy and mirth we are sometimes called to share equally pain and sorrow. Last Thursday evening Mr. Will Sykes was buried in the Rehoboth graveyard. He once lived in Tarrant County but was at the time of his death living in Dallas County. His many friends here deeply sympathize with his lonely wife and two little orphan children.
