After an illness extending over many months, Mr. J. A. Lamkin, prominent farmer of the Harmony section, died Friday of last week, and the remains were laid to rest in the Clear Creek Cemetery, Saturday afternoon at 4 o';clock, Rev. J. Herrick Hall, local Baptist pastor, officiating. A large crowd of sympathizing friends was present to witness the last sad rites.

Mr. Lamkin was about 74 years of age. Up to a few years ago he was an active, vigorous man, but fell aprey to illness some time ago, since which time the decline in his physical condition was very noticeable. He was a man highly regarded throughout this section, and popular with all who knew him. He raised a large and interesting family of children, nearly all of whom are now grown and settled in life. His widow also survives. Mr. Lamkin had lived in this section for many years. He ever proved himself a good friend and neighbor, a devoted husband and father, and no man in his community stood any higher in the estimation of his fellowman. His death is deeply and sincerely deplored.

Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to his bereaved ones. [last one to be buried at Clear Creek]

Lamkin, John L.

J A Lamkin was a pleasant caller at the Mercury office the other day, and as an Item of news he told of the assassination of his aged father In Neshoba county, Mississippi, in April. The elder Lamkin, a man of 88 years was farming and running a store. Several times previously he had had parties to whom he had tendered change, grab all the money and run with same. Being an old man he was unable to pursue them, and they escaped. It finally came to him that the parties were young white men disguised as negroes, and he intended reporting them to the authorIties. Before he did so, however, the parties got wind of It and decided to both rob and k!II the old man, which they did, but as it happened they were observed by four negroes, who were sworn to secrecy on pain of death. These negroes were finally put under arrest by the sheriff, and Mr. Lamkin has been advised by the sheriff of the county that one of them confessed and told the names of the young white men who had committed the cowardly and brutal murder of the aged gentleman. The last letter Mr, Lamkin received from the sheriff stated that he would have the young men arrested n once. He has not heard from the officer since that time. The eider Lamkin had Intended before his death to wind up his affairs and the following July move to Texas and reside with hIs children, three sons, now living in this section of Texas. His sudden and unexpected death of course put an end to his plans. His death was certainly a most cowardly and brutal crime, and it is to be hoped that justice will be dealt out to his assassins
