Last
Friday night about 1 o'clock, Mr. Andrew Jackson Byars, a
well-known citizen, suffered a stroke of paralysis. Mr. Byars
lingered until yesterday at 3:10, when death relieved his suffering.
Mr. Byars was a well-known citizen. He was on the street Friday in
the usual health he has enjoyed for the past year, and his friends
were shocked Saturday to learn of the paraletic stroke, and further
saddened Monday to learn of his death. Mr. Byars was a poor man, but
possessed more than riches - a good name. He had lived such a life
that those who enjoyed his acquaintance were proud of it. He was a
Confederate soldier, having given some of his life to the service of
his country. Deceased is survived by a widow and five children. The
children are: Misses Rosa, Daisy, Katie and Polly, and Mr. Joseph.
The funeral services will be held at Draytonville Church today at 12
o'clock. (The Goffery Ledger, April 24, 1906)
