James David Woodruff

TUCKER, William - It is with deep regret that we announce the death

of William Tucker and Jimmie Woodruff. Last week they were both in the

prime of life. It has pleased God to remove them from our midst for He

knowest all things best. They left many warm friends to mourn their loss.

There are several severe cases of typhoid fever in the neighborhood of Prairie

and Viney Grove. Two young men, Willie Tucker and James Woodruff died

near Viney Grove last week. They were of the best families of the community.
