Death of
John Wesley Halfhill
On Thursday last Mr. John W. Halfhill died at his home in Mason County, W,Va., in the 48th year of his age. He was a soldier in the 4th Virginia Infantry during the war of the rebellion, and at his request was buried with the honors of war.
We attended the funeral on Saturday last, at his late home. It was largely attended, hundreds of his neighbors and friends assembling to pay the last honors to an honest man and a worthy citizen.
Mr. Halfhill was a native of Cheshire Township, this county, where he resided until fourteen years ago, when he moved to West Virginia. His wife and six living children survive him and have the sympathy of all in their bereavement.
