friendly nature and a sincerety of character which endeared him to those with
whom he came in contact. For a number of years he was a member of the city
council, and always took a keen interest inthe affairs of the city and county.
Surviving are his wife, Daisy McKenzie Thagard, three daughters, Mrs.
Hoyle B. Williams, Mrs. Harry Halse and Mrs.Billy Fields, seven grandchildren,
