Obituary and Biographical Detials
Tribute of Respect from Lynchburg Tobacconists:
“…The deceased was probably the oldest employee in the tobacco business in this city. He was 83 years old. His duty was to blow the horn notifying the buyers of the opening break, and well he stood by this post. Many days the old man was hardly able to walk, yet still he would allow no one to assist him. A great many of the tobacconists attended his funeral yesterday.”
