The unexpected news of the death of William Childers was heralded over the city Sunday morning, and was a great surprise to almost everyone. He had been sick but a short time and was not generally known to be in a dangerous condition. The cause of death was lung fever.
The funeral was held Monday at 1 o’clock, p.m., from the residence.
Mr. Childers was a man about 45 years of age and had lived in Madison county since 1856. He was a man of good habits, quiet and unostentatious, and will be missed by many and warm friends. He leaves a wife, two children and a host of relatives to mourn his untimely death.
