attended attended the residence of Bro. Hill, and there it lay until Monday
afternoon when the funeral services were held at the Methodist Church, conducted
by the pastor C. B. Fielder.
The body was lain to rest out in the Perry Cemetery
where Roscoe will sleep beside one brother, a sister and a dear old mother who
have been sleeping for some few years in this silent city.
|Roscoe was a fine man, and happy are the memories of his friends of his
comradeship of other days before the great affliction came to him.
The pall bearers were: W. T. Squibb,
C. A. Miller, Jake Gravley, A. T. Stewart,
