Dur ham. pastor of the First Baptist church, and the body was then taken i to Hoiiywood cemetery on route 20,!

Mr. McNeill's death came Thurs day morning at 9:30 following a stroke j of paralysis on Saturday preceding j He had been an invalid for something like 10 years, having suffered a stroke of paralysis 12 years ago from which he never fully recovered. During all those years he was a patient sufferer, taking his afflictions cheerfully and never complaining. His son, Mr. John L. McNeill, was with him all during that time except Ivhile he was in the j war and has done everything he could' to make his stay on earth pleasant, j About five years ago Mr. John L. Mc NeiM and his wife moved out to their residence just across the street, but the family has been just like one ever since. Mr. McNeill was preceded to the grave by his wife, whose death came almost suddenly on June 19, last. Dr. Durham spoke briefly of the life of Mr. McNeill when conducting the! service at the home Friday afternoon, mentioning the manner in which Mr. McNeill took his afflictions, and his love for his children.

At one time he operated a livery and sales stables on Fourth street, about where the Townsend garage is now located. He owned extensive farming interests. LETTERS TO SANTA CLAUS Lumberton, N.
