Funeral services over the remains oi Mr. Henry Reid, veteran Tyson & Jones employee and well known citizen of Carthage, were conducted Tuesday morning from the Methodist church, of which the deceased was a I member, by Rev. J. E. Ayscue, as- | sisted by Revs. Messrs. Buffalo ot j Carthage, and Adams, of Sanford. Death came Monday morning at 5:20 j o’clock at a Sanford Hospital, where Mr. Reid had been suffering from a complication of diseases for more than three weeks. Interment was in the Methodist cemetary by the side of his wife, who died many years ago. The deceased is ^survived by four daughters, Mrs. Burney Wallace, of Carthage, Mrs. H. C. Roberts and Mrs. T. L. Riddle, of Sanford, and Mrs. R. L. Yow, of Carthage The passing of Mr Reid, which was universally be revived, removes anoth er one of those pioneer buggy makers who made the name of Tyson & Jones famous throughout the South, and West. Of him and his work, a life long friend says: A Friend’s Tribute. “Thet funeral of Henry Reid ought to be an inspiration to every young man who thinks his opportunities proscribed. “A passing stranger would have thought we were burying a congress “A man amounts to just what the ether people think of him. | “And our Henry has demonstrated that a man following a seemingly humble occupation may so live that he will be highly respected. Who ever saw Henry looking ‘slouchy* ? J “At eleven fifty-nine he would be a mechanic working deftly and swift ly in his long white apron—at 12 he would pull off his apron, put on his hat and coat, and presto—he changed to a gentleman. Immaculately perfect and handsome. And he lived as clean as he dressed. I “The illness of his father made it necessary for Henry to go to work early in life, but he continued his studies at a night school conducted by no less a personage than our J. C Black, whose memory Henry cherished. | “As a worker Henry was no shirk er or ‘dude’. He could do more work j*na better work than any trimmer who ever worked for Tyson & Jones. I “Fate chose his occupation as a propitiation to necessity, otherwise Henry might have been a statesman. He surrendered to necessity only so far as became obvious. Ten hours ©f each day he was a mechanic—the other fourteen he was a gentleman. I “Henry came into manhood during that hectic period when the town had five general stores and s<|ven bar rooms. The mayor had to swear in six to twelve policemen every court to preserve the town from utter wreckaget Henry served on the force, | and he was fearless in the pursuit of his duties. On one occasion a man he was trying to arrest ran and dodged behind a horse. Henry jump ed over the horse and landed on his man. He could outrun any man in j ! town, and could jump a horse with a I saddle on. | A Fine Workman. “He was a charter member of the Carthage brass band, which won in a contest at the State fair over otht $ bands in the State. Frankenfield, the noted composer, was present, and rede around the race course in the Carthagtj bandwagon. “He belonged to the Picnic Club, and to a dramatic club. He played Laertes to Tommie Tyson’s Hamlet —Sue Padeford starring as Ophelia. “When the South began-to conva lesce from its soul quenching recon struction period, men began to ask fo: better carriagjes, and but for Henry Reid, Jim Montague, Joe Downing, and Bob Shields,the north ern factories would have outclassed ] cur factory and driven it out of busi ness. A governor of a Southern State ordered d landau. No one of us had perhaps ever seen a landau, It was a comparatively new creation. It was to buggies what the high priced limousine is to runabouts now. “Mr. Jones asked those men if they could build it. If they had failed, the company would have ret rograded. They said they could. Bob built the body, Joe ironed and made the gear, Jim painted it and they brought it to Henry to trim. I am sure he had the hardest job, but i wc knew he would do it, and he did. Took him four weeks, but when he finished, it was perfect. A six pass enger coach with six plate glass windows, two glass doors, upholster ed with Morocco, and trimmed with silk. High above the wheelhouse in front was the seat for the foot man and the driver. oervMi on town Hoard. “Mr. Jones made long tripe to the South, going as far as Houston, Tex., and Palm Beach, Fla., being away from home as long as eight weeks some times. On one occasion he left Hepry trimming a landau. But some hurry jobs displaced it for weeks,so that he happened to be fin ishing it when Mr. Jones returned. The old man shook hands with Henry and remarked: "another one of the same kind, Henry—Another one of the: same kind?” “No, no Mr. Jones—-it is the same one.’ “The old man went away scratch ing his head in a puzzled manner, and Mr. Humber rejmarked: "That’s » god on Timothy » j REID TWO g “Henry served several terms on the torn board, and then took a job as 8upe\ntendent of an Atlanta fac tory, but he came fi^ck to his old job, and Carthage. During and after the war he hald a position with the Ford Company, but again he came back to live with us. “In early manhood he fell in love with one of the most attractive girls in town—Annie «fackson and later married her, and built a’ homey He was a modei husband, and very hap py. but it was not to endure, for An. nie was taken from him a few years later. . “He has remained true to her all these years, and now they sleep side by side. 4 - “Let no sceptic tell us the soul is not immortal.”—Moore County News.
