W. T. MYRICK PASSES AWAY
Old Citizen and Veteran Died this Morning near Wilson Chapel.
The news of the death of W. T. Myrick, an aged and highly respected citizen was received with universal sorrow on our streets today. Although his health had been feeble for several years, the end came unexpectedly at 10:00 this forenoon at the home of beloved daughter Clara Hacker in the Wilson Chapel Community. He suffered from paralysis. A turn for the worst - last evening occurred. He lingered until this morning, as above stated, surrounded by his children, grandchildren and neighbors.
W. T. Myrick was born in Kentucky September 9th, 1837 and had lived in Texas about 35 years. He was a brave Confederate Soldier and ardent Southern gentleman of the old school. For 50 years he was a consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and was prominent in church, social and political circles. His companion preceded him t0 the grave about seven years ago. He is survived by the following sons: H. C., T. T., F.L., and O. B. Myrick. all except living in the Wilson Chapel Community and he lives near Wylie. Two daughters also survive. They are Mrs. Clara Hackler, with whom he lived and who tenderly ministered to him during his latter years of feebleness and dependence. Mrs. Biggers spent six weeks with her father just departing for home only last Saturday.
The funeral service will be held at Wilson Chapel at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon and will be conducted by his pastor, Rev. J. D. Cunningham of Princeton. His remains will rest in the adjoining church yard. The deceased who was 77 years old, was a most honorable and gentleman. His acquaintance in the county was very extensive. He was a friend of every acquaintance and every acquaintance held him the utmost esteem. These editors have long known the warmth of his friendly handshake and we in common with his host of other acquaintances and friends throughout this and Denton Counties mourn for the passing of this grand old veteran, citizen and friend to all. The world is better by W. T. Myrick having lived in it. Peace to his dust. His memory will long continue in the minds and hearts of those who knew him and they will abide to bless.
