UNCLE JIMMIE TAYLOR DEAD.
Mr. James Taylor, more familiarly
known as “Uncle Jimmie” died sud-
denly Saturday afternoon about 3:30
o’clock at Chadwick.
He met the afternoon train and
seemed in his usual health, but upon
returning to his little store he com-
plained of being sick and died imme-
diately. The sudden attack is
thought to have been brought on by
a little run he made from the store
to the train.
Uncle Jimmie was about 72 years
of age. He has been in this imme-
diate section about 30 years, part of
which time he made his home in Lo-
meta. He was a jovial old man, liked
by all who knew him.
For the past 12 or 15 months he
has been postmaster at Chadwick,
during which time he made friends
of all the people in that section.
He was buried in Chadwick ceme-
tery Sunday, and in the absence of
a minister C. L. Reid made a very
able and appropriate talk. Quite a
number from Lometa attended the
burial.—Lometa Reporter.
Mr. Taylor was quite well known
in this city and in the southern part
|of the county. He was merchant and
I postmaster at Antelope Gap for a
j long while and was a most pleasant
gentleman. The announcement of
his death was received with sincere
regret.
