character of the deceased and the
opportunity of a physician for ser-
vice was delivered by his paator,
Rev. It. E Comm. ,
Dr E "A,- Bishop who has known
him intimately and been his close
personal friend for eleven years,
spoke at length of his life as a'citi-
"sen, a physician,
a gentleman, a
husband ahd father.
His life as,a citizen was beauti

years and been associated with him
in business for more than a quarter
of a century and who brought out
many beautiful traits of character
shown by his sacrifices for others
and his deep interest in suffering
humanity and the public good.
nis character as a soldier was
pictured by General L. D Tyson
of Knoxville, tinder whom he serv
ed during the Spanish -American
War and wh had excellent and
ample- opportunity to learn his real
worth. ? General Tyson paid a high
tribute to his ability as a surgeon
and to his devetion to the welfare
of the sick soldiers and he spoke
quite feelingly of the strong personal
friendship that had, existed between
himself and the deceased for the
past twenty-five years.

As large a crowd as ever attend
ed a funeral in Sevierville was in
attendance and expressions of re
gret of the unexpected death of
Dr. Massey was on every lip.
The burial took place at the Shi
loh cemetery and was under the
auspices of Mountain Star Lodge,
197 F. G A. M. of whichvhe was a
member.
The floral offerings " were beauti
ful and profuse and showed that
many in all walks of1ife) delighted
to do honor. '
Mrs. Massey and her children
have the sympathy of the entire
country in the lobs of a kind and
indulgent husband and father.
If kind words anil beautiful flow-
ers take away the sting of death,
the sting must have been lightened
for Mrs. Massey and her children,
for on every hand kind words are
heard and a more bountiful or more
beautiful floral tribute we have nev
er seen. i .
Dr, Massey was a unique charac
ter and he made an eminent success
in life in his profession, in business
and in politics, but his greatest suc
