and after I had relieved him he said:
- ‘Doctor, if I have another attack
of pneumonia, I will never live over
it.’ Knowing the judge as I did, I en-
couraged him and diverted his mind
as much as possible in other channels.
That isall he had to say in the least-
wise indicative of fear on his part that
his illness would terminate fatallv.
Saturday he lost no ground and Sun-
day morning all things considered, I
was gratified at his condition, realising
as I did. of course, the difficulties to
be combatted.
Berinning of the End.
“Sunday afternoon he was not so
well and from that time till death su-
pervened at 5: JO o’clock this morning
he steadily grew worse. Friday and
Saturday he was in possession of his
facultiew gave orders relative to work
about the place, and manifested a deep
interest in public affairs. He had been
closely following the trial at Austin
and was disposed to discuss its various
phases almost to the last. With Sun-
day morning came attacks of delirium
and then his mind would revert to
other days. This could be told imply
by an audible word here and there.
“It was along about midnight Sun-
day night that he sank into a gentle
slumber, from which no earthly power
could arouse him and this continued
until 5:JO this morning, when the end
came silently."
At the bedside were his faithful wife,
his two daughters, Mrs. Mobley and
Mrs. Ferguson; Dr. Henry Link, Dr.
John M. Colley, his physicians: Messrs.
Ben Greenwood, D. C. Bowden, T. M
Campbell, George Wright and John R.
Hearne.
Telegrams of condolence have been
pouring upon the stricken home all day
from-every section of the country, tes-
tifying only too plainly to the uni-
versal grief.
The funeral will be from the Reagan
home. Fort Houston, Wednesday after-
noon at 3 o’clock, and will be under the
auspices of the Masonic fraternity and
the ITnited Confederate Veterans.

only those closest and dearest to him
realised just how serious was his con-
dition.
The grand old hero himself, did not
realise that his last great battle was
pressing so close and even the last
words to fall from his beloved lips,
were of this earth, and in them was
naught to indicate that he was aware
that the time had been appointed when
he should join Lee and Davis and
Benjamin and Gordon and others of
that deathless host, with'whom he la-
bored during an epoch notable for
crimson-hued historical page as its
fruition day by day.
Only last Thursday, his beloved and
familiar figure was to be seen about
the streets of the city, and his form
and utterances, then gave no token of
the blow so soon to fall.
Beginning of Last IlInesm.
Returning to his home that evening,
he gave his usual personal supervision
to matters about the household and,

he chatted Just as usual, with the
members of the household. Friday

did he arise. .

has been today the center of a pall of
gloom, that overshadows all the fair
southland, for with the earliest ray

For him life’s ending came with per-

Was a Lifelong Resident of Texas.
John H. Reagan, while a native of Ten-
nessee, won the great fame which he
left as a heritage to the South as a resi-
dent and representative of Texas. Com-
ing to Texas while a young man. he
witnesagd the evolution of the great do-
main now constituting this great state,
from the hunting ground of the Indian
to the home of a people who defer to
none in the refinments of civil life.
During the three-score years he was a
resident of Texas he enjoyed great hon-
ofs at the hands of his fellows and
the end found him the honored sag*
and wise counselor of those who had as-
sumed the burdens he voluntarily laid
down to seek in retirement time to com-
mit his memoirs to written history.
Judge Reagan was born in Sevier
county. Tennessee, Oct 3, 1818. of pio-
neer stock three lines of his ancestors
having been among the first settlers
of that territory. His great grand-
