Mr. Gabe Buchanan Hansell passed to his reward Monday afternoon, August 2. Mr. Hansell had been in feeble health for almost a year, yet the end was very unexpected and came as a shock to his friends and family. He drove over to town Monday morning and while here was stricken on the streets. Loving hands hurried him home and everything that medical skill could
do was done, but at 5 o'clock his spirit took its flight to Him who
gave it.
Mr. Hansell was born in Monroe county April 16, 1849, and spent his life in a short distance of his birthplace. December 31, 1874, he was united in marriage to Miss Bettie Bryant. To this union 11 children were born, four of whom survive. He also leaves two brothers and two sisters, one of whom, Mr. Robt. W. Hansell, lives in Nettleton.
In Mr. Hansell's death Nettlleton loses one of its oldest and most esteemed citizens and his family a most devoted and loving father. He was a man of strong convictions and these convictions were for the good of all who believed in and strove for the right. He will be greatly missed, not only by friends and relatives, but by the whole community.
