Rev. L. D. Worsham Dies

After a long and eventful life, Rev. L. D. Worsham, pastor of
the Methodist Church, died at his home here on Tuesday
morning at 3 o'clock.  His remains were interred at Pontotoc
Wednesday.

He had been sick for about two weeks but was able to be on
the streets Saturday.  That evening he was taken with congestion
and was very ill until his death.

The deceased was 63 years old and had spent about 43 years in
the ministry, having served churches in Mississippi, Alabama, and
Arkansas.  He was a Confederate soldier during the first four
years' conflict, and after the war entered the ministry, in which
he continued until his death.  He will be greatly missed by our
people.

A wife and daughter survive him.  The Press extends the greatest
sympathy to the bereaved ones in their hour of great trouble.
