An Excellent Citizen Dead: Isaac Elbert Horner passed peacefully away at his home about four miles southeast of town, Wednesday night of last week, age 34 years, 8 months and 17 days. Death was caused by the growth of a tumor on the brain. For some time the deceased had been in poor health but not until the past few months was he bothered with the trouble to which he finally succumbed.

Bert, as he was familiarly known, was born Sept 8, 1879, and the son of the late Amos Horner and Mrs. Martha J. Horner. In 1902, he was married to Dollie Sands. To this union were born five children, all living. He also leaves a mother, two sisters and four brothers.

The funeral service was conducted by Rev. John Elkins at the Horner Baptist church, Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock in the presence of large crowd of neighbors and friends. Interment was made in the Horner Cemetery.

In his death the county and his home vicinity loses a good citizen. He was a man of strong Christian faith and was held in high esteem by his acquaintances. Stricken down in his prime of life, when ambition is at its zenith, to be devoted to his family and the service to his community, brings grief to the family and friends. His life of unquestioned character will be a lasting memory to his family and immediate relatives.
