"WM. C. PRUETT DIES YESTERDAY.
VAN BUREN CITIZEN SUCCUMBS AT RAGLESVILLE AT AGE OF ALMOST 80 YEARS.
William C. PRUETT, aged and well known resident of the community, died Thursday at Raglesville after an illness of about three weeks. Death was caused by general debility. William C. PRUETT was a son of Thoams and Margaret PRUETT and was born December 1, 1849 (1848?). Had he lived but eight more days he would have reached the age of four score years. He grew up to manhood in the community in which he was born and on September 3, 1871 was united in marriage to Mary WESTFALL. From this union two children survive. These are John PRUETT of Raglesville and Mrs. Rufus LAUGHLIN. He also leaves besides his companion two sisters, Mrs. S. C. GUTHRIE and Mrs. Abe CUNNINGHAM, both of this city.
Mr. PRUETT was a splendid citizen and a conscientious Christian. He was a member of the United Brethren church at Raglesville at the time of his death and throughout his long and useful life he served his Master faithfully. Funeral services will be held at Mt. Olive church this morning at 10 o'clock with Rev. Jerd Fields in charge."
