Will Take Place at Whitesboro Tomorrow About Noon.

The burial of W. W. Harper will take place at Whitesboro about noon tomorrow (Friday). The body is now at the home of Mr. Foster, brother of Mrs.Harer at Whitesboro.
Among the many beautiful testimonials of the high esteem and respect felt for Mr. Harper at Gainesville, where he engaged in business at the time of his death, was the floral tribute sent by the Baptist Sunday school of which he was the superintendent.
The deceased had been a member of the Baptist church for many years, and was a consistent a christian gentleman as ever made the world better for having lived in it.
Several Sherman friends will attend the burial, and news of his death has been received here with deeptest and most sincere regret.

Burial of W. W. Harper

Yesterday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock in the family burying ground at Whitesboro the body of W. W. Harper was given burial.
The services were held at the Baptist church of which Mr. Harper was for years a consistent member and failthful worker. They were attended by a large number of the personal friends of the dead man. Relatives from Indiana were also present. The services were conducted by the Baptist pastor at Gainesville.
The deceased was a noble man on who many attracted friends to him and held them always. His loss to the community and society is great, but to the bereaved wife and family, it is more than pen can gell. To them the Register offers its sincerest sympathy.
