Marshall Mountain Wave - Saturday, January 11, 1913

The sad news of the death of "Uncle Lun" House, who resided near Baker, was received in Marshall, Wednesday, the Grim reaper claiming him in the early part of the morning.

He had passed the 98th mile stone, having been a resident of this county during and since the Civil War, and at the time of his death was making his home with his son, James near Baker.

There are very few people in the county, old and young alike, but who were personally acquainted with him, and who are grieved to learn of his death.

He leaves a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends to mourn his demise.

We extend sympathy to the bereaved family in this their hour of greatest sorrow.
