REID, FOR MORE THAN TWELVE YEARS HIGH SHERIFF OF WASHINGTON COUNTY, PASSES AWAY IN FIFTY-THIRD YEAR OF NOBLE CAR EER. PEOPLE A' E DEEPLY GRIEVED, HUGE FLORAL TRIBUTES. Washington C >unty is deep'y g ievt d in the death of J. F. Keid, w 10 died in a hospital in R chmond last Saturday af er noon at two o’clock. Sheriff Reid had been a nr n of unusual vitality and vigor un til recent years when bad health assailed him in the form of sotre insiduous disease that fina’ y sapped the life of a character that, has had muca t^, do with the political, social ard commer cial development of this entire section. During his early man hood he was actively identified with local n I e Riflemen” for several years. In nineteen hundred and ten he was elected sheriff of Wash ington County on the Democratic ticket which office he has faith fully held until the time of his I death. For the past two years, | despite rapidly failing hea'thj and diminishing vigor, he has; struggled faithfully to keep the! work of that office in the properj condition, never failing to fynaw-: e • a call at any hour of the day or night from a- y section of the pntire county. No man in the county could claim more devoted friends a-, mong both races and all classes and no man has more faithfully and conscientuously endeavored toserve a people who had placed I authority and power in his hands Although a firm Democrat he was by reason of the impartial execu' lion of his duties, revered by .all political elements The deceased leaves a devote a wife, two daughters, Miss Marn ie Reid and Mrs. Claudius Mc Gowan, two sons, Messrs. J. K., and F. E. Reid, all of Plymouth, and one sister Mrs. Lena New berry of Baltimore The funeral service "was con ducted in the Methodist church, of which he was£a member, at thie*1 o’clock Monday afternoon, Rev. W. G. Lowe, assisted b> Revs. 0. W Sawyer at d Theo dore Partrick, conducting the service, Beautiful and impress ive music was rendered by the Methodist choir. The church was packed to overflowing and scor es were unable to find even stand ing room. The floral tributes from all sec tions of the state were so vast that great difficulty wasflencoun tered in handling them. The cas ket was covered in a pall of beau tiful evergreenjan exquisite Eas ter lilies, given.by £the citizens of Plymouth. The entire chancel of the church was a huge mass of beautiful and fragrant flowers a most touching homage paid by those who loved him. As the party left the church for the cemetary the hearse was filled i to its capacity with the floral wreaths, and in older to accom-, modate all the flowers a three-! deck] truck was employed to car j ry them. The interment was made in ! the family plot on the old New' ! berry farm, about three miles | from Plymouth. The procession of automobiles formed a veritable i concourse as it proceeded from , the church. Aside from that a great many attended from all ; parts of the county, to sorrow ’ fully witness thte interment of a r great man who had given his life in the service of his people. Our deepest sympathies go to tl.o heart-broken relatives and j friends. r1_______ s FOR SALE -- Used Willys Six. 7 passenger automobile splendid condition. Will sell cheap. Z V.
