Death has been abroad in our land and has taken from us a very kind friend, neighbor and relative, a devout Christian, and generous father. Such was the life and character of Wilis Green Warren whom death siezed on the 16th inst. His remains were interred at Poplar Grove burying ground on the 18th. The funeral was conducted by Revs. A. J. Whitley and James French, with a host of friends and relatives in attendance. Green, as he was known here, had been in feeble health since the death of his wife three years ago and had suffered a great deal from heart disease. Drs. Coakley and Sanders were the attending physicians in his last attacks, and one of them was with all the time until the end came. But it seems that the grim monster death baffled all the skill that medical science could suggest. We can only hope that out loss is his gain, and while we have lost a friend and relative from our midst, he has gained a home beyond this vale of sorrow and tears gone to meet that wife and mother that have gone on before. With an eye of faith we can see the dear ones standing on that beautiful and blissful shore of peace and happiness, with outstretched arms, saying "Come on dear one. Come where sorrow and trouble are now more."
