Mr. H. Colin Matthews, one of Pleasant Union community’s most worthy and upright citizens, died last Thursday morning at 1 o’clock at his home on Mr. W.A. Green’s place. Funeral was held Friday at 2 o’clock, service being conducted by Rev. Lee Johnson. Interment was at Pleasant Union. Deceased leaves a wife and three small children. Mrs. Matthews is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A.V. Gregory, and she and her children will make their home with her parents at Buie’s Creek.
Mr. Matthews was a son of Mr. and Mrs. J.D. Matthews and was 34 years of age at the time of his death. He was known as a man of exemplary character, honest and straight-forward in all his dealings, and his neighbors speak of him in the very highest terms. Mr. W.A. Green, on whose farm he lived, is generous indeed in his praise of Mr. Matthews, and says that he has never known a man in whom he had greater confidence. The community was grieved at his death.
Mr. Matthews leaves besides his wife and three children, a father and mother, one sister and four brothers. The floral tributes that attested the community’s high estimate of the deceased were many and beautiful. The funeral was attended by a large audience.
