weeks later he uuited with the
First Baptist Church and to atl ap¬
pearances a long, prosperous aud
useful life was before him. About
two months ago he accepted a sim¬
ilar positiou with Mr. O. L. Blan¬
ton at Washington aud he moved
to that city where he was engaged
in his profession until he was sud
deuly taken ill last week with ap¬
pendicitis. He was taken to a
hospital and underwent an oper¬
ation. At fisrt it was thought he
would recover from the operation,

Mrs. Millard Hasten, on Dawson
Street, where it remained until
Thursday afternoon when it was
carried to Salem church, near
Pavo, where the funeral services
were held, conducted by his pastor,
Rev. W. B. Feagins, in a few
well chosen aud most beautiful
words of tribute on the character
and life of the deceased friend and
brother. Interment followed and
the body was laid to rest in the
family lot in the cemetery there.
The many beautiful floral offer¬
ings were evidences of the love and
high esteem in which he was held
Besides his widow, he is surviv¬
