Mark Wilcox, one of the county's oldest and best beloved citizens passed away at his home on Knob Prairie Saturday morning at 12:45. He was taken ill ten weeks ago and was never again able to leave his home, though everything possible was done for him and every tender care that loving hearts and hands could devise was bestowed upon him. His hundreds of friends in Bryan and elsewhere inquired daily as to his condition and for some time all were hopeful of his recovery. Hope, however, in time gave way to anxiousness, and anxiousness was ended by the announcement that death had claimed him. Mr.

Wilcox (Uncle Mark) as every body knew him, was a native of Georgia, born in Erwin County March 27, 1833, making him at the time of his death 82. years, 7 months 20 days of age. He grew to manhood in Georgia and while quite a young man went to California to seek his fortune in the gold fields of that State, makRing the trip through Central America and crossing the Isthmus of Panama. He returned to his native State, however, after one year and on August 10th, 1858, was united in marriage to Miss Lizzie G. Cravey.

Seven children were born to this union only two of whom are living, John and Oscar L. Wilcox of Tabor. He came to Texasc in 1859, the year following his marriage and settled in Shelby County, where he resided until after the war. He came to Brazos County in 1865 soon after the surrender, and this had been his home continuously since that time. Mr.

Wilcox was a quiet, unostentatious man, there being no sham nor false pretensions in his nature. With him a yard was thirty-six inches and a pound sixteen ounces. By this rigid rule of honesty he squared every action of his long and useful lite. and in all his history there is not one blot on his good name, not one flaw in his title to honored citizenship. He was the soul of honor, just and fair in all business transactions and his word was his bond.

During his active years he took a prominent part in all public matters, particularly in politics, and was frequently called into the councils of the Democracy of the county. He had high ideals of justice and right and at all times stood for those things which make for a higher citizenship, which were for the public welfare and which placed men on the table-lands of a nobler and higher life. In later years he retired more closely to his home, and his chief delight was in the things that grew up about him on his farm. He excelled in nearly all farm products and it was a great pleasure to him when coming to town to bring his friends some of his choicest specimens. His farm, his friends.

his pleasant surroundings formed a beautiful setting for the evening of life, and amid these pleasant surroundings he calmly and undisturbed watched the shadows grow longer and awaited the coming sunset. He went to the war from Shelby County and served in Company Gould's Battalion, Randall's Brigade. He served his beloved Southland with great fidelity until the surrender and then with the thousands of others returned to his Texas home to retrieve his lost fortunes. He was a lifelong member of the Presbyterian Church. and of the Masonic Lodge.

He was also a member of Camp J. B. Robertson, United Confederate Veterans. His first wife died July 8th, 1886, and several years later he married Miss Lou Boggs of this county. No children were born to this union.

He is survived by his widow. the two sons above mentioned and two sisters, Mrs. Julia Bozeman of Hawkinsville. and Mrs. McCremmon of St.

Louis. He also leaves two halfsisters in Kansas and two half-brothers, Robert L. Wilcox of Oakdale, North Dakota and John M. Wilcox of Georgia. He was laid to rest Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock in the Seale graveyard and hundreds of his old friends were present to pay him their last tribute.

Rev. C. H. Storey, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of this city, conducted the religious services. The funeral was under the auspices of Brazos Union Lodge No.

129 Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons, of which he was a member, and the beautiful burial ritual of the order was conducted by Gen. H. B. Stoddard, who was his life-long friend and who had been requested by the deceased long before his death to preside at his funeral obsequies. The following gentlemen, his brethren in the lodge, served as pallbearers: A.

S. McSwain, W. J. Coulter, W. E.

Saunders, E. W. Crenshaw, D. Martin and C. M.

Bell. The floral offerings were many and beautiful, especially one from the members of L. 8. Ross Chapter, Daughters of the Confederacy. With the mound above his mortal remains banked high with flowers, which attested the love of neighbors and friends, they left the old veteran alone with God.

SAVES BROTHER IN BATTLE. The following instance of courage on the Western front is told by A writer in the December issue of the Woman's Home Companion: "I know of two brothers," she says, "who fought side by side, and when one of them who had risked his life to save one of our 75's fell, badly wounded, the other threw himself out of the trench--without even thinking of the terrible danger that threatened him on every side gathered up his brother under a hail of bullets, making himself a target for the enemy's fire, and carried him on a stretcher. He was wounded in the eye by a bit of shell and covered with blood; but still he slipped off his overcoat in the rain of the Northern night to cover the shivering body of his younger brother." It can hardly escape notice that the transfer from London to St. Louis of the secret of dying sealskins is one of the biggest skin games ever -New York Evening Telegram. Violet- Tommy, do you know you haven't laughed all the evening?" But how impossible to laugh all the evening." -Harvard Lampoon.
