Dec 1? The burial of i Lloyd Gordon, whose death occurred } Saturday, took place in Elmwopd. yesterday. Thei^e was no funeral and {he burial was made according to th?* ?wishes ot the deceased so far as it >iemed practical to carry these out. ? Mr Gordon asked that he be ?ot buried in a coffin, but that his body simply be wrapped up in a cloth and j laid to rest in mother earth with only j a board covering over hte face. Th?? ! request was complied with to theex- { t^jit that a grave was dug coffin-shap- j ed and the two sides of a coffin-shap- , <?d bo* were placed on the sides of the j grave. There wa*> no bottom and the j body was laid to resl on mother earth ? as the deceased asked. A box top was neatly laid over the sides of the erave. the dirt thrown in with the ^ave covered over. There were no carriages nor mourn- i <?rs. The body Was .carried in annn- ! dertaker's basket and at the cemetery i was lifted from the basket and de- j posited in the ground as described. Lloyd Gordon was quite eccentric No such peculiar burial has occurred in this section since that of John P. Edwards who lived in South Ports mouth. and requested that he be bur ied on his home lot under a tree at midnight. The request was complied with. Mr. Gordon wos for many years In ! the batbusiness in Norfolk, being at one time associated with J. W. Gilmer when the latter conducted Norfolk's leading hat store on the ^ite of what 1 is now the Miller, Rhodes and Stewartz Main street store. Lloyd Gordon was known to prac tically all the older residents of Nor folk. He was affable, agreeable man and was well liked. He was frugal and saved some money, leaving pro bly when he died a small estate. He bought and sold lots and for a long time was the owner of a very attrac tive cottage at Seventh street, Wll loughby Beach, which he sold only a year or so ago. He had an Interest in the Church street property where he lived until his death. ?

Before relief came, the floods had overspread^ five large river basins from the headwaters of the Sabine in northeast Texas to the San Antonio River in the $outhwest. | The total loss of life- early tonight stood at 24. Property damage esti mates 1 anged between one and two million with Waco and San Antonio as the heaviest sufferers. The San Antonio loss was a quarter of a mil lion and Waco's damage was expected io.be as great. In Waco as th? water receded, pilfering began and miJltia was pat on duty in east Waco to ^uard prdp eity in deserted house* asd stores.
