Long Illness Fatal To Well Known Citizen
End Came Tuesday Night To "Bill" Sumner On Donaldson Creek
Mr. William L. Sumner, a well known and splendid citizen living at the head of Donaldson Creek about twelve miles south of Cadiz, died Tuesday night after a long illness. He had been in poor health for some years, and for several months past, his condition had been quite critical. Some character of lung trouble cause his death. Mr. Sumner was near sixty years of age and a son of Alfred Sumner, deceased. Of a large family, his brother, B. Miles Sumner, is the only survivor. Mr. Sumner was a Baptist, and a good man, and his death takes from the county a clever and honoredcitizen. Burial took place yesterday afternoon at the family grave yard south of Cadiz.
