Feb 20, 1913 OBITUARY
On the morning of February 10th 1913, at his home in Senatobia, Mississippi, the light of life for Mr. B. A. TUCKER went suddenly out, thus leaving the darkness of sorrow, and the shadow of death over his family and friends. Earth's cheerful light ceased shining to be rekindled in Heaven's glow of joy and peace.

BENJAMIN ARCHER TUCKER was born Oct 6th, 1857, in Shelby County, Tennessee, his parents being HENRY JACKSON TUCKER, formerly of Virginia and ANNE ELIZABETH NORRIS TUCKER of Tennessee. At the beginning of the Civil War the father and mother with their three children came to North Mississippi, where the mother and children remained while the father went to war and thus lost his life. Soon thereafter the mother died, leaving the three children to the kind care of a helpful friend at Longtown, Mississippi. After the war was ended the children lived with their grandmother, in Memphis until her death, from which time they were again kindly cared for by the same friends at Longtown.

Here Mr. TUCKER was in school till the age of 16 years. At this time he, being the eldest of the three children, began to work for himself, his brother, (J. H. TUCKER now of Ballinger, Texas) and his little sister, (now Mrs. CLEMMIE SHORT of Como). In these efforts of his youth he showed the inherent fineness of the man, as he met these responsibilities and fought bravely these early battles of life.

At the age of twenty-one he came to Senatobia to work first, for the firm of WARD and HALL, then later for and with Mr. BLACKBOURN. Upon the death of Mr. BLACKBOURN Mr. TUCKER succeeded him in business in the firm first as TUCKER and LOCKE, next as TUCKER and GABBERT and, at the time of his death, as TUCKER and BAILEY.

He was also Vice President of the Senatobia Bank, member of the Board of Directors of BLACKBOURN College, and Sect'y of Board of Trustees of Senatobia Schools.

In all these years, as a business man, and in all these varied duties, as a useful and progressive citizen, his marked success was founded on a simple firm faith in right; a quiet confidence, an even justice and a superb courage that made him an inspiration to all who knew him, and generous benefactor to the many who daily came to him for help or counsel.

In the year 1883 Mr. TUCKER was married to Miss MAGGE WARD, daughter of Capt. and Mrs. N. W. WARD of Senatobia. God blessed this union with six children: BEN, GLEMMIE (Mrs. HERMON DEAN), HARRY, MAGGE WARD, THEODORE and ELIZABETH; all of whom, with their mother, survived Mr. TUCKER to realize their irreparable loss; to appreciate their noble heritage of his good name, and to keep sacred the memory of his great soul and sterling character.

In his earlier days Mr. TUCKER became a Christian and joined the Baptist Church in Senatobia. Herein he was a consistent, active worker, and for a goodly number of years he has been one of the most faithful, efficient and potent officers in his church. His Christianity was quiet, unobtrusive yet sincere, making its genuineness felt for the greatest good in his home, his business, and his church circle.

"His life was gentle and the elements were so kindly mixed in him that nature might stand up and say to all the world "This was a Man." An ideal husband and father, a loyal friend, a useful citizen and a noble Christian. Truly by his impartial judgment, his calm helpfulness and cheer, his liberal views, his Christian living and his faith in God he has built for himself a monument that will not crumble and has secured the Stewart that will be imperialistic in its glory.

The funeral services were held in the home, and were conducted by his close friend and Pastor Rev. A. T. CINNAMOND, assisted by Rev. W. N. DUNCAN of the Methodist Church, and Rev. W. M. PHIFER of the Presbyterian Church.

The interment was in Bethesda Cemetery, Senatobia, where a throng of friends attended, their love for him and his bereaved family by, placing silent but sincere floral messengers of sympathy upon the tomb of him we all esteem.

As we love him we weep for him, but not as those who have not hope, so we look up through our tears to the dear Father who hears our cry; and who teaches us to know that it is well with him because there is no death. What seemed so is transition to the Home Celestial where all is endless joy and peace and love...F.R.S.

Mrs. SUSAN MALVINA HAWKINS on Friday Feb 28th, 1913 at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J. F. DEAN, Senatobia. Mrs. HAWKINS formerly lived at Jackson, Tenn., and coming here several years since. Her remains were carried to Jackson, Tenn., and interred in the cemetery at that place. The Democrat extends its condolences to the bereaved family.

March 6, 1913 OBITUARY
Mrs. SUSAN MALVINA HAWKINS was born in Jackson, Tenn., March 6th, 1834, and passed away Friday February 28th, 1913, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J. F. DEAN, Senatobia. She was the daughter of ANDREW and LUCINDA JOBE of Jackson, where she grew to womanhood and where she continued to reside until she came to make her home with Mrs. DEAN at Senatobia. Having received a liberal education, she accepted a position as teacher in one of the schools of Memphis where, at the home of her brother, SAMUEL JOBE, she was married March 4th, 1858, to W. B. HAWKINS, also of Jackson, who died a few years later, and whose memory she cherished through more than fifty years of widowhood. In early girlhood she united with First Baptist Church, Jackson, where she remained a faithful and active member for over fifty years, until she transferred her membership to Senatobia Baptist Church.

She is survived by one son DR. HERMAN HAWKINS, Jackson; one daughter, BENONA H. wife of J. F. DEAN, Senatobia; one sister, Mrs. L. I. ROBINSON near Jackson; six grandchildren, EARL L. HAWKINS, Jackson; Mrs. R. B. WOOTEN, Washington, D. C.; C. H. DEAN, Brookhaven, Miss.; J. FRANK DEAN, Memphis; BENJAMIN H. DEAN, Oxford; and IRBY DEAN, Senatobia. Also two great grand children: CHARLES HERMAN and BEN TUCKER sons of C. H. DEAN Brookhaven.

Though in declining health for several years, her death was not immediately expected. When the end came, it was peaceful as though lulled to sleep and pleasant dreams, her features retaining the restful expression of undisturbed repose. Her remains were conveyed by train to Jackson, Tenn., where after a beautiful funeral service conducted by Dr. H. W. VIRGIN at First Baptist Church, she was laid to rest beside her husband, in lovely Riverside Cemetery, floral offerings of loved ones and friends covering both mounds in fragrant profusion.

Mrs. HAWKINS was as exceptionally gentle and sincere character; her affections enthralling her loved ones with devotion profoundly true and loyal. She was deeply religious trusting the Lord in sunshine and shadow, with a faith that realized the sentiments of Paul: "I have fought the good fight, I have finished my course I have kept the faith." For such, there is reserved "a crown of righteousness that fadeth not away."

The following lines, written by her in 1884, on the death of a loved one, buried in Elmwood Cemetery, may well apply to her, now in her peaceful slumber:

"Oh Elmwood, soft and low

And sweet as seraph whispers came

The soothing words, I know

That angels loving watch doth keep;

"He giveth His beloved sleep.

Sister BERNIE MOTHERSHED was born on March 15, 1893, died Feb 10, 1913. She was the eldest daughter of Mr. & Mrs. BEN ATKINS of Looxahoma. She was married to C. H. MOTHERSHED May 3rd, 1912. BERNIE was sick only a short time but doctors, friends, relatives and the attention and efforts of her devoted husband could not save her.

We must yield to the hand of fate. She was baptized into Christ some several years ago, by GUS DUNN of the Church of Christ. BERNIE will be greatly missed by the church, her relatives and the host of friends she left. It is hard to give up our loved ones, but as the Apostles say, "If in this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all men most miserable." She leaves behind her father, mother, and sister, her devoted young husband and little child. May the Lord's richest blessings be theirs. A Friend.

March 27, 1913 JAMES BERKETTE CATHEY
"O, not in cruelty, not in wrath

The Reaper came that day;

T'was an angel visited the green earth

and took the flower away."

The flower gathered that day was "little" Jim as he was so tenderly called by his comrades and all those who loved him best.

JAMES BURKETTE CATHEY was born May 31, 1898, and on the evening of March 7, 1913 the light of this bright little life, went quietly out, although for several weeks he had been ill, and death had been expected. Alas! when God bade him come, we would selfishly answer, "Not ready yet to give him back to thee," but could we censure loved ones, for O, the vacancy death left in its wake. As the babe, the light of the home, is missed by its Mothers clinging arms, so is this sweet child, for many years he had been an invalid, confined to his wheel chair, a constant care, and for him as for the little babe, everyone had loving, tender words His cheerful nature and wonderful patience maintained throughout all his afflictions was a beautiful example for we of mature years, who moan at the slightest indisposition. To those of that home, which now seem so desolate, I would say let us close the door upon what now seems the darkest hour of your life and "come boldly to a throng of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need." For again in the language of the Poet;

"My Lord has need of these flowerets gay,

The Reaper said, and smiled

Dear Tokens of the earth are they,

Where He was once a child." D.C.S.

April 24, 1913 IN MEMORIAM
Seldom have we been called upon to chronicle a sudden death sadder than of our neighbor and friend, ERNEST SAUNDERS, who died at the Presbyterian Hospital, in Memphis April 11, 1913.

His condition was thought to be much improved and the sad news, that he must die, came as a blow to his many friends. All his life we have known him, and from his early boyhood he was ever ready to do something for his friends, and to those who were in trouble he would go offering to make any sacrifice to help them. A kinder heart never beat and the kindness shown us by him in dark hours of sorrow and trial shall not be forgotten. When quite young he was left sole protector of his widowed mother, little sisters and brothers. To them he has ever been faithful, and our hearts go out to them in this hour of grief with the pall of sorrow over them, the vacancy is great.

In the quite Church Yard at Glenville, Miss., beneath the shadow of the old Church that sheltered him often in his youth, he sleeps the long, last sleep. The years will come and go, the snows of winter will fall gently, the flowers and grass of summer will creep up and cover this low mound the little birds will carol sweetly in the trees above. But time cannot efface him from our memory.

Mrs. KATE SOLOMAN died at Greenville, Miss., March 30, 1913. She was before marriage in 1882 in Memphis to Mr. JOHN SOLOMAN, Miss KATE MASSEY sister of Mrs. LONNIE JURGINS, Miss MATTIE MASSEY of Memphis and Mr. JAMES WILLIAM MASSEY of Little Rock.

As a wife she proved to be most congenial and helpful a willing sharer of the burdens of life. She was the mother of seven children five of whom survive her. Her unlimited devotion to the family her children was beautiful. Since her fifteenth year she had been a sincere member of the Methodist Church. After having helped heavenward the hearts that almost break, she went leaving the world better for having lived in it. She was cheerful and patient, notwithstanding her actions and combated every inch of the approach to the great enemy who finally won a stubborn victory. Death is the crown of life. Loved ones laid her body to rest in its long sleep, in beautiful Elmwood.

May 1, 1913 OBITUARY
Death, that grim and selfish monster of the tomb has been busy at its appointed work. On the morning of April 10th this mighty monarch stole into our midst and plucked one of our choicest flowers in the personage of ERNEST SAUNDERS, and now the weeds of sorrow are alike worn by all who knew him and an entire neighborhood is wrapped in the mantle of regret.

Ernest was born on October 9th, 1878 and departed from this world April 10th, 1913. He was the eldest of five children that came to bless the home of his parents Mr. & Mrs. S. M. SAUNDERS, and for nearly thirty-four years he was an obedient, kind, and faithful son and brother. He was born near Glenville, Panola Co., Miss., where he lived until a few years ago when he moved with his widowed mother to their home at Mt. Vernon which was the home of the family at the time of the decease. Early in January of this year he was stricken with that Malay which was so soon to claim him as a victim. Realizing the seriousness of his illness his Physician sent him to St. Joseph Hospital where it was hoped that he might get better medical attention in the effort to arrest the progress of the fatal disease. All that medical science and loving hands could do was done, but to no avail.

Too much cannot be said in commendation of our dear friend. He was always cheerful and had a kind word for everyone. His heart was ever hardened for the welfare of his friends and neighbors and he seemed never to be happier than when he had befriended some one in sickness and distress. The scribe remembers on several occasions when sickness and death had entered his own home, that it was ERNEST who came along the first with willing hands to help the sufferers and console the bereaved. He was one who will be missed by all for to love him was but to know him. His great heart was yours for the mere asking. On the Heaven side by faith we hope that the splendor of the Father's smile has kissed away all the marks of frail mortality; and that ERNEST now stands a redeemed and glorified Saint among the white robed children of God. A Friend.

ELIZABETH DUNCAN ELDER, daughter of TOMAS C. and ELIZABETH DUNCAN, was born at Cockrum, Desoto Co., Miss., Feb 8, 1872 and died in the Baptist Memorial Hospital at Memphis Apr 4, 1913. On Nov 4, 1891 she was happily married to A. D. ELDER of Coldwater, Miss. To this blissful union were born six children three sons and three daughters, all of whom survive their mother. In the life of Sister ELDER were exhibited the noblest traits of Christian womanhood. Her home life was strikingly beautiful. As a wife she was true and faithful, as a mother loving and devoted. She was justly proud of her children and was always glad to give them her personal attention. While the home has lost its central character, the loved ones are not deprived of the memory and influence of an exemplary life. As a neighbor she was good and kind to every one, and especially to the poor, the sick and the aged. In this capacity she impressed her many friends as being all that could be expected of anyone. Sister ELDER professed faith in Christ and joined the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, at the early age of fourteen. She was one of the best and most loyal Christians I ever knew. In pure unselfish service, she was a true disciple of her Lord and Savior. Patience and forbearance characterized her daily walk; her unshaken faith in her Lord inspired hope and kept love aflame unto the end. Her life is not lost and can not be lost to the world, for she possessed that love which "never faileth." Through all the trying scenes of life she magnified the grace of God and bore witness its sufficiency in health and in sickness. A strange and mysterious providence has removed her from our midst, but we will not murmur at our loss, for in the eternal day we shall understand. Her going away has left many a heart sad and lonely, yet richer in the heritage of a holy influence upon their lives. Her Pastor, Rev. W. H. Mounger, assisted by the writer, conducted the funeral services in the presence of a large audience of friends. Besides her husband and children, she leaves behind two brothers and four sisters J. B. DUNCAN, of England, Ark., T. C. DUNCAN, of Sardis, Miss., Mrs. C. R. THOMPSON of Coldwater, Miss., Mrs. M. W. MOSBY, of Sunflower, Miss., Mrs. POUNDERS and Mrs. H. F. BYERS of Senatobia, Miss., may the God of all grace sustain the stricken ones whom she leaves behind, and bring them with her to the saints' everlasting home. W. N. DUNCAN

Oct 3, 1913 IN MEMORIAM
POWHATTAN PERKINS CROCKETT was born near Thyatira in Tate County Miss., August 27, 1844, was married to Miss ANNIE BABB of Byhalia, Miss., on April 16th, 1872, and died at his home near Tyro, August 29th, 1913. He is survived by his wife and daughter, Mrs. EDWIN STRUDIVANT, and five sons, Dr. R. N. CROCKETT of Crawfordsville, Ark., SURVETTUS of Millsaps College; and JOSEPH, ERVIN and EDWIN, of Tate County. He was laid to rest on Saturday, August 30th at Mt Vernon in the presence of a large concourse of sorrowing friends and relatives.

The life of P. P. CROCKETT was well spent. By nature modest and reserved, he sought nor cared for notoriety except as it came to him in the discharge of his duty and in the ordinary channels of business. He enlisted in the Confederate Army when only a boy of fifteen years of age and served his Country with Valor and Patriotism until the surrender in 1865.

He enlisted in Company B which was organized at Looxahoma under Capt JAMES LEWERS. This Company afterwards became a part of Gen. WIRT ADAMS Cavalry and saw service mostly in Mississippi. At the close of the war he returned to Tate County where he began the real battle of life and like most men of his age, the war and the conditions immediately following was deprived of the educational advantages that peaceful times afford to young men; but he was a man of superior native ability, mentally and physically, and what he lacked in college training he made up by the exercise of good judgment and discretion, and began at once to accumulate a competence. He was scrupulously honest, and while he left a good estate for his loved ones, it has been the work of years; for he never engaged in speculative schemes nor enacted usury from his underling, but seemed content to add to his fortune year after year, such little dividends as remained to reward him for his frugal management and untiring energy. He had a high sense of culture and refinement and while he was by no means devoid of humor he never engaged in vulgarisms, but expressed himself in the most chaste language. He was deliberate and conservative in forming his opinions but strong and emphatic in his convictions; and his judgment and advice was much sought by his neighbors and friends. In his religious faith and practice he was a consistent member of the Christian Church, and spent much time and study to the Bible. For that was the rule and guide of his life. As a friend he was as true as steel; as a neighbor his acts were always based upon the principle that "he was the brother's keeper." In home life he was a devoted husband and a firm but wise and provident father.

No greater eulogy was ever spoken over Mortal Man than was spoken by some of his neighbors who stood before the great audience, and with bowed heads and tearful eyes said "Mr. CROCKETT was a good man, a good neighbor, a safe and sound adviser."

In his death his fond wife and children have lost a devoted husband and father the vicinity in which he lived a loyal friend, and Tate County one of its best citizens. A Friend

Sheriff HENRY FITZGERALD and Deputy Sheriff CARTLEDGE left in an automobile soon after the homicide after CANNON and brought him into Clarksdale, where he is an inmate of the Coahoma County Jail.

Details of the tragedy are lacking though there is talk of ill feelings caused by a former misunderstanding between the men. Particulars will be brought out at the preliminary hearing of the prisoner, which is scheduled to be held some time later, probably in the Court of Justice of the Peace J. B. KILLEBREW.

So far CANNON has made no statement except that he was compelled to fire in self-defense.

Mr. McGUIRE is survived by two daughters and one son: Mrs. PAT STONE, Miss LOUISE McGUIRE and LUTHER McGUIRE. CANNON is a married man.

Oct 16, 1913 WHITE-STILL
A homely wedding of unusual beauty was that of Miss BESSIE STILL of Senatobia and Mr. WALTER E. WHITE of Biloxi, which was solemnized on Thursday morning at ten o'clock, October 14th.

The home was beautifully decorated with chrysanthemums and ferns for the occasion. A unique idea in the decorations were immense wedding rings, which were suspended from the doorways and chandeliers; wreathes in asparagus ferns caught with white bows, with chrysanthemums, falling in shower effect, while about the rooms were graceful clusters of chrysanthemums which were also banked on the mantles, piano and twined on the stair case.

Among those adding a most artistic touch were numerous white tapers, giving forth a nullon radiance. A lovely trellis artistically decorated with ferns and chrysanthemums had been arranged in a corner of the parlor for the bridal party.

Little Miss ANNIE GILLILAND, wearing a daintily lingerie frock made a most charming ring bearer. The ring was borne upon a tray made of the copper plate upon which the invitations were engraved. Promptly at the time of ten, to the strains of mendelshons wedding march the lovely bride carrying a shower bouquet of chrysanthemums descended the stairs and was met on the landing by the handsome groom; who proudly led his charming bride to the improvised alter, where the Right Rev. A. T. Cinnamond in a most impressive way said the beautiful ring ceremony. The brides wonderfully becoming going away gown was a mahogany, color with hat and accessories to match.

ROBERT RICH, the fifteen year old son of Mrs. ESTELLE RICH of Strayhorn, this County, was fatally shot while hunting last Saturday afternoon, and though rushed to a Memphis Hospital he died as he was carried into that institution.

Young RICH, together with IRA ALLEN, JR., and C. Y. SMITH, both of Senatobia, were hunting near Strayhorn, RICH climbed on top of a log to watch for a rabbit. It had been raining and the slippery log affords but an insecure foothold. He slipped and the hammer of his gun striking the log discharged the gun the load of shot striking him on the inside of his left leg and fanning upward, some of the shot probably penetrating the abdominal cavity.

Dr. McREYNOLDS was hurriedly sent for and finding the injury so serious prepared to bring the boy here to catch the train for Memphis. The agent here was telephoned and the local train held for forty minutes until the conveyance could arrive with the young man. Arriving in Memphis he was placed in an Ambulance and rushed to the hospital but died as he was carried into that institution. Dr. McREYNOLDS accompanied him to Memphis.

His remains were returned here Sunday morning and conveyed to Singleton Springs for burial. The sad death of the young man has cast a pall over that entire community. He had many friends and his untimely end is one of the saddest tragedies that has occurred in that section of the county in many hearts. The Democrat extends its most sincere sympathy to the bereaved family.
