A. L. McCASLIN.
Lincoln McCaslin, son of Wesley McCaslin, died at his father’s home Sunday Morning at 3 o’clock. For a long time he had suffered from consumption and to this disease was due his death.
At the time of his death he was about 26 years of age and his death is one which seems unjust.
Mr. McCaslin was at one time local editor of the Republican and a student in Franklin college and consequently he was well known. His social qualities made him very popular and his manly virtues respected by all.
He had travelled extensively North and West but received no permanent benefit. Only a few weeks ago he returned from California very feeble and his death was certain.
He was conscious until the last and his last moments proved his unqualified strength of character. The funeral occurred Monday afternoon at 3 o’clock from the Hurricane Baptist church, Prof. D. H. Hall conducting the services. Quite a number from this city attended the services.
