Whitford, a prominent farmer living 5 miles south of Dardanelle on the Hot Springs road, died at his home, Wednesday afternoon, April 28th, at 4 o'clock. Heart trouble was the cause of death, which followed an illness of but a few moments. Mr. Whitford was working at the barn when taken ill. He managed to walk to the house where he jell in a faint, but soon revived and asked his wife to raise him to a sitting position. This she did, but he at once asked to lie down again and almost instantly expired. John L. Whltford was born near Neelly, Ark., August 23rd, 1868, and died at his home near this city April 28th, 1915, aged 46 years, 8 months and 5 days. He was the only child of Louis and Eva Whitford, both of whom preceded him in death several years ago. He was reared in Yell County, where, with the exception of one year spent in Texas, he has lived his entire life. On January 8th, 1893, he was united in marriage to Miss Minerva Nolen, near this city. To this union six children were born, all of whom, with the widow, survive to mourn his loss. They are; Reece, Hobart, Eva, Viola, Orene and Syble, and all reside at the family home. Deceased had followed the vocation of farming all his life, and had met with success to a fair degree. He was a member of no church, but affiliated with the Presbyterians. The funeral was conducted from the family home Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. E. M. Kelsey officiating. Burial was made at New Hope cemetery, where the Modern Woodmen of America, of which order deceased was a member, had charge of the services. The pall was borne by Cecil Park, Monte Green, Riley Spencer, G. C. Crow, Barney McKenzie and Jack Gardner.
