Potter WEST died.¹²⁶³ Potter WEST Dead

The friends of W.E. WEST were shocked on hearing of his death last
Wednesday night. He had not been well for several days but his condition
was not serious until shortly before death came.
Mr. WEST was among our best citizens, a member of the Methodist church, and
a highly respected neighbor among the farmers around him. He leaves a wife
and several brothers and other relatives.
At his own request, a very unusual funeral service was held. In connection
with the sermon preached by Rev. A. P. COLE, there was music by J.S.
FLEMING, violinist, and Fletcher WINNINGHAM, guitarist. He was a great
admirer of these young men as musicians and as friends. The funeral was
conducted at his home near Oak Grove and he was buried in the family
graveyard nearby. Parents: Washington WEST.
