Many friends assembled to pay the last tribute.

The last 14 years of his life were spent in Dallas county and Irving was his home of the last eight years. His life companion for near half a century survives him, though feeble in health. Two orphan grandchildren, Johnny and Alma PENDLETON, were being cared for by the grandparents.
- Three daughters also survived and were at the bedside when death came. They are: Mrs. E. H. RHODES and Mrs. Tom HALL of Thurber, and Mrs. J. A. LEWIS of Fruitvale.
