The passing away of H. C. Eder-
ington at the ripe old age of 86 years
: and 11 months removes from us an
I old land mark, one of the early pion-
I eer settlers who came to Wliliamson-
county when the country'was in an
! unsettled state. During the war be-
tween the states he shouldered his
rifle and fought valiantly under the
Confederate flag and he made a rec-
ord on the field of battle, and until
his dying day, never tired of telling
war tales and of what the pioneer ex-
perienced after that great struggle.
We owe much to the early settler, who
blazed way for future civilization
and the present condition of our coun-
try today, is due, in part, to their
heroic efforts as citizens of this
great state.
Funeral services were conducted
Monday afternoon at the family resi-
dence at 3 o'clock. Rev. Geo. W.
Springfield of Beeville, assisted by
i Rev, W. D, Boswell and Rev. M. S.

terment was in Granger cemetery.

The quieness of the early morning
hours, of our little city, was broken
just after 4 o'clock this morning by
the disturbing shriek of the fire
siren. As it was wafted out to the
various homes of the town, and out
into the surrounding country, the
night operator at the telephone office
was called beyond her ability to serve
and soon the word had gone out that
Killeen's splendid new school build-
ing was burning. From every direct-
ion the sound of hastily starting cars
was heard and soon the grounds sur-
rounding the building was surround-
ed with anxious people ready to do
what they could to save the building
and it's contents. Quite a good deal
of the teacher's furniture, desks, etc.,
besides some of the books were taken
out. All of the instruments belong-
ing to the school band was saved
through the efforts of bandmaster
Younger and others who volunteered
to help; the use of gas masks being
necessary to enable them to search
through the smoke filled building.
It is not known how the fire start-
ed.
