Mr. H. M. McCain
Died Yesterday
Our little city was shocked to learn
that the grim reaper called Mr.
Hammond M. McCain about 10
o'clock yesterday morn ng, following
an illness of several we^ks. His pass
ing was not unexpected by relatives
and friends, but, nevertheless, is the
cause of genuine sorrow among all.
His death has brought the bitter
cup of sorrow to the lips of friends
and lelatives. His heart was a heart
of gold, and he was one of nature’s
noblemen in the truest sense—brave,
generous, and manly, and above all.
a true Christian gentleman. He had
been a life-long member of the Bap-
t ; st Church, and was loyal, devoted
and keenly interested in advance
ment of its cause. For a number of
years he was engaged in the mer
cantile business here, but was forced
to give it up about twenty years ago
on account of failing health, since
which time he has been a traveling
salesman throughout this portion of
the State and a part of Georgia, in
which territory he had hundreds of
friends who will learn with sorrow
of his death.
Mr. McCain was in the 56th year
of his age. and is survived by his
wife and two children, Mr. Fred C.
McCain of Logan, W. Va., and Mrs.
Lloyd Ludwick of Louisville, Ga.,
and three grandchildren.
Funeral services will be conducted
at the grave at 3 o’lock this after
noon and interment made in the city
cemetery; G. P. McCain, undertaker.,
in charge.
