Deaths
Stanley Davia, son of Mr. and
and Mrs. M. E. Davis died at
their home in this city last Sat-
urday, Sept. 9, of Tuborculosis
Thu funeral services were held
at the City Cemetery, Sunday,
Sept. 10.
The deceased wasonly a young
man but had some experiences
during his life which hastened
his death. He was confined in a
Mexican prison in 1909 and it is
probable the confinement aggra-
vated the disease. After his re-
lease he came home and has
gradually grown worse until
death called him home last Sat-
urday. The parents have the
sympathy of all.
A. M. Daugherty, one of the
oldest citizens of this communi-
ty, died at his home 3 miles west
of Pilot Point, Sept. 12th, 19il.
The funeral services were held
at the City Cemetery Wednesday
afternoon at 2 o'clock, conduct-
ed by Eld. E. L. Cochran. Mr.
Daugherty was born Sept. 18th,
1832, in Hardin county Ken-
tucky and came to Denton
county in 1881, where he has ra-
eidtd until his death. He pro-
fessed religion in his early days
and often expressed himself
during hia illness as ready and
willing to go, as his sufferings
were great. He leaves a widow
and six children.

journed to meet tonight.
