DRYE - After an illness which lasted less than six hours, Mr. Stephen G. Drye died at his home at Hustonville at 10 o'clock Saturday night, aged 63. Doctor's pronounced his trouble apoplexy. Mr. Drye was in his usual health until about 4 that evening and when he told his wife at that hour that he felt bad and would lie down a little while, she little thought that in a few short hours she would be a widow. Mr. Drye was a member of the Baptist church, which he joined in early life and was a good citizen and a kind hearted, clever man. A republican in politics, he was not partisan and his friends were as numerous in one party as the other. He was twice married, first to a Miss Woolford, of Louisville, H. W. Drye, of Marion, and Mrs. W. D. Hocker, of Hustonville, are fruits of that union. His second wife was Miss Pattie Bedford, of Bourbon, who, with Misses Alice and Mabel Drye and Paul Drye, survive. Mr. Drye was serving as store keeper and gauger at Hackley's distillery, near McKinney, and his place was at once filled by Will Huffman, of Hustonville. The funeral sermon was preached at the Baptist church by Rev. Coleman at 4:30 Sunday afternoon, after which all that was left of the kind husband and indulgent father was taken to the Hustonville cemetery and laid away to await the resurrection morn. The heart broken wife and children have unbounded sympathy in their great loss, for they can not see as clearly as when tears have dried away that He doeth all things well and for the best.
