Services: Arrangements incomplete, Knightly Funeral Home. Ky. New Era, Hopkinsville, Ky. Wednesday 3 August 1960 John T. Wright Death came to John t. WRIGHT at the home of his parents, a few miles from this city, Saturday night, "like an untimely frost upon the sweetest flower of all the field." Months ago the illness came upon him. He fought disease for awhile but the sick bed was awaiting him & then the grave. A few weeks since he was removed from the home of his brother in this city to the paternal roof, & there he lingered till the last. Sunday afternoon his friends gathered around the mound where they laid him on the "lone couch of his everlasting sleep." The death of the young is always sad, and we prefer to remember our friend as he was. Appareled in the nobility of youth, full of vigor & manhood, with a heart full of good humor & a soul brimming with honest motives, he was a universal favorite & rewarded the love of his friends by a life of fidelity & usefulness. He enjoyed influential business relations & will be missed from the commercial circles of our city. He was a man whom none disliked & few failed to love. The deceased was born March 23, 1861 and was in his 26th year at the time of his death. In September, 1882, he opened a clothing store at the corner of Seventh & Main & was unusually successful in his business. His funeral was preached by Rev. J.U. Spurlin.

Wilson Last Monday Christian county lost one of its best citizens. Dr. A.E. Wilson after living in our midst for twenty years fulfilling honorably all the duties of citizenship is dead. He was a man who enjoyed the pleasure of a large circle of friends. His warm sympathies drew to him all who knew him. Eminently qualified in all the gentler & more refined impulses of the human heart, he was the friend of the sufferer ,the support, comforter of the needy & distressed. He was firm but not severe, determined but not harsh, dignified but not ostentatious. As a citizen he seemed to understand thoroughly the relations of life, public & private. He was kind as a father, loving, lovable as a husband, & uncompromising as a friend. In his professional life he achieved a success commensurate with distinguished ability. He won the confidence of the public by honestly & fair dealing in his practice. But the rare qualities of his soul were not exhibited in their full beauty merely as a physician & a man, but reached their highest perfection in his symmetrical Christian character. He knew experimentally the practical value of faith in a Redeemer. His whole life was touched & softened by a Christian charity. Thus it is we who lose one whom we all loved. His children & loving wife will mourn his loss, a host of friends are left to revere his memory, & we join in hearty sympathy with them over the departure of one so valuable as a father, husband & friend. Fifty seven years were allotted him to live & now we lay him away. Whether his grave is brightened by the summer's sun or wrapped in the snows of winter, let us remember & be comforted by the fact that the late soul is safe in glory, where care & sorrow is not known, & where the "weary are at rest."

She was born September 27,1864 in the same county, was the daughter of Irvin & Lucy(Morris) Rose, granddaughter of Merritt & Mary(Tinsley) Rose & great granddaughter of John & Jane Tinsley. The latter's father was William. Scott who removed from Lexington Kentucky about 100 years ago. His remains are interred on the farm which he owned & which is still in the possession of his descendants. Mrs. Wilson was one of the fifth generation all the above mentioned, having lived & died in the same vicinity, except Mrs. Lucy Rose, who still survives. It is a pleasure to note that without exception, the persons above mentioned embraced the Christian religion & died in all hope of eternal life.. Miss Mollie Rose & Christopher Wilson were married Dec 27,1887. They had four children given them to share their love & care--two boys & two girls-all of whom are living. In a letter to the writer some time ago, the mother s! aid "I have fully realized that without Divine aid we can do nothing and, oh, how I earnestly desire to bring the little ones entrusted to my care, up in the love of Jesus & have them all he would wish them to be both here & hereafter". She taught her children at home, saying she was not willing that they be away from her protecting care until they were old enough to remember her teaching & not depart from what was right. . Having been a teacher, she was qualified to teach her children. She regarded the profession of teaching the grandest of all worldly callings. She loved the work & with better advantages, would have taken high rank among teachers. She was fond of reading & read with sad interest the recent accounts of famine in India, saying that it made her more thankful to God for blessings she enjoyed. She appreciated culture & the many beautiful things which our Father in heaven has provided for his children in this world, but seemed content if she did ! not have them.. Probably our dear Mollie had faults or weaknesses oddment of many virtues & the tender affection which her husband & children manifested for her gives evidence of rare loveliness & domestic character. At a meeting in Cadiz about five years ago, Mollie obtained a hope that her sins were forgiven & that in Christ she was a new creature. The radiance of this new life illuminated her pathway as the years passed by & was felt by those about her. During her two weeks illness she talked calmly of death as of other affairs; it seemed that death had no terrors for her. She said she was sorry to leave her family, but death seemed only a dream & that they must not grieve, but meet her in heaven. Then, seemingly, she fell asleep with Heaven's light beaming on her beautiful face of clay & swept thru the pearly gates into the beautiful city. Her intelligent sweet smile seemed to portray the wonderful beauty that unfolded before her raptured vision. "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have they entered into the heart of ma! In the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him" She was strong in the belief of the Primitive Baptist Faith.

He slew Alex Wright, an unarmed & inoffensive participant in a barn dance at White Plains Aug 11, & had been in jail since about August 15. It was at first claimed that Williams was insane, but this plea was not made & he waived examination & Judge Cansler fixed his bond at $1,500. He has engaged counsel & it is now understood that he will put up the usual please of self defense. Wilson was & so for as we are advised is still constable in his district & is a Republican leader while Wright was a Democrat. He has influential Democratic connections, however, & these are standing by him. Esq. George H. Myers took care of him as a boy & Esq. W. T.
