THE INTERIOR JOURNAL, STANFORD, KY., TUESDAY, MAY 10, 1910
AT RIPE OLD AGE
J. F. Edmiston, Sr., died at his home at Crab Orchard Sunday morning after an illness of several weeks of paralysis. He is survived by his wife, three sons, J. R., W. D., and J. F. Edmiston, Jr., and three daughters - Mesdames W. W. Burgin, Levi Elder and J. D. Anderson. He also leaves two brothers and a sister, Messrs. John Edmiston, of Crab Orchard, and D. B. Edmiston, of Louisville, and Mrs. N. A. McClure, of the East End.
Deceased was a devout member of the Baptist church and an excellent citizen. He was 74 years old and a greater portion of his life had been spent in the Crab Orchard section, where he was a merchant for many years and where he was held in high esteem.
The burial occurred in the Widows' and Orphans' cemetery at Crab Orchard to-day and a large crowd was present to see their friend and neighbor laid away until the resurrection morn. A good man has gone to his reward.
In 1878 Mr. Edmiston made a strong race for sheriff against W. W. Saunders, of this city, but Mr. Saunders' removal of the notorious Bridgewater and his general popularity pulled him through.
