Murphy,
Death of Col. F. F. Axley.
The announcement early Tues
day morning of the death of Col.
P. P. Axley, one of . Murphy's most
prominent attorneys a and a leading
citizen, came as a sorrowful shock to
the couxnunity. c-r -7,, k
. Three weeks ago Mr. Axley left
Murphy for Statesville to visit his
two sons and also to receive medical
treatment for "uremic poison, with
which he had been trouuled for
some time. But shortly after reach
ing there his condition grew worse,
until last Monday night a telegram
to his family brought the informa
tion . that the end was seemingly
near, but that all hope had not been
abandoned, and then early the next
morning another message conveyed
the crushing blow that he had pass
ed away quietly and peacefully.
Col. F. P. Axley, familiarly known
to his friends as "Tobe" Axley, was
born at Franklin, Macon county,
September 17, 1836, and was there
fore in his 72nd year. When quite
young his father moved "to this
county at what is now known as the
Hayes farm at Tomotla. Later the
family moved to Murphy, which has
since been their home.
In 1859 Mr. Axley was married
to Miss Margaret 'Johnston, of Chat-
tan 00, Tenn., who survives him. ,To
them -.were born ten children, nine of
whom are now living, as follows: F.
J. and C. C. Axley, of Statesville, N.
C4 Mrs. Albert Bell, of Uhipley, Ga ;
J. VV., J. K. and VV. M. Axley, Mrs
Helen Wellborn, Mrs. B. B. Mero-
ney and Miss Kate Axley, all of our
town. He is also survived by a
brother, A. VV. Axley, and three sis
Mounrand Mrs. AvaSiell Davidson,
all of Murphy.
Mr. Axley had filled imny offices
of trust and honor during his "life,
was deputy collector, a member of
the legislature and at the time of his
death was county attorney, all of
which he filled with credit to himself
and honor to his constituents.
The remains were accompanied to
Murphy by his two sons, reaching
here late Tuesday night. The fun
eral was held in the Methodist
church Wednesday afternoon at 2
o'clock, the services being conduct
ed by the pastor, Rev. G. G. Harley.
Tbe church could not seat the large
crowd, many having to stand up.
After the services in the church the
remains were buried with Masonic
honors, which are always solemn
and impressive. The deceased was
one of the brightest Masons in this
section, and few could fill the East
with tbe dignity that he could.
AH of the family were present at
the fnneral, except Mrs. Albert Bell,
of Chipley, Ga., who couid not reach
here until ;shortly after her father
had been buried.
We have known the deceased for
many years and always found him
to be a man of his word, never be
traying tbe trust of a friend, and he
w'as always ready and willing to do
all he could for his friends. In his
death we have lost a good citizen,
and his family & kind, loying father
and husband. To the bereaved ones
we join oar entire community in ex
tending sympathy, and may He who
tempers, the wind to the shorn lambs
give them grace to pass through the
crashing ordeal.
