He was married three times. His first wife was a sister of Mrs. Joe B. Miles. His remains were brought here Thursday and laid to rest in the Live Oak cemetery, Rev. J. E. Stack conducting the funeral services. He leaves a wife and two children to mourn his loss. We, together with the citizens of this little burg extend our deepest sympathy to the bereaved relatives.

We are sorry to report he death of Mr. Melton Miles, which occurred at his home last Wednesday evening. Mr. Miles walked to town Monday previous to his death and seemed to be well, when he suddenly became very sick, suffering, as his friends thought, from an attack of acute indigestion. He was too sick to take home,so he was taken to Mrs. Albert's and a doctor immediately summoned. The next morning he seemed better, got up and dressed and told his hostess he was going home because the mosquitoes were too bad, and he couldn't stand them. So, he and his wife walked home, a distance of several hundred yards. After reaching home he became worse, and Wednesday at 10 p. m. he paid the debt we must all pay sooner or later. Mr. Miles was a good man, and his death is deplored by all who knew him. He leaves a wife, two children, several brothers, and a sister, besides other relatives. We extend our sympathy to the bereaved ones. He was buried at Live Oak Thursday afternoon. Several from here attended the funeral.
