Was Native of Christian County But Had resided In Cadiz Since 1911
Mrs. Florence Duncan Atwood, the beloved wife of Mr. Julian Atwood, of this city, died Tuesday night at two o'clock at the hospital in Hopkinsville where she had been for more than two weeks past.

Mrs. Atwood was a native of Christian county, and was the daughter of J. D. and Susan Duncan. She was united in marriage to Mr. Atwood January 18, 1911, and since that time had resided in Cadiz. Two children were born to this union. Susan died at the age of six months, and Florence Evelyn is the name of the surviving daughter.

Wallace and Henry Boyd, all of Hopkinsville, are half sister and half brothers.
Mrs. Atwood united with the Christian church in her girlhood and had since been a member of the church and ever remained true and loyal to her Christian profession.
She was a woman of sterling character, kind and thoughtful as a neighbor, indulgent and sacrificing as a wife and mother, and a woman held in highest esteem by her host of friends. The sympathy of all go out to the bereaved husband and heart broken daughter and other loved ones in their hour of deepest sorrow.
The remains were brought home from Hopkinsville yesterday morning, accompanied by a number of friends both of Cadiz and Hopkinsville.

FRANCIS MARION ATWOODGood Man and Prominent Citizen Answers Final Summons Tuesday Morning
Mr. Francis Marion ATWOOD, one of Trigg county's most prominent men, died at his residence, near Wallonia, Tuesday morning at 3 o'clock of a complication of ailments, at the age of seventy-one years.
Mr. ATWOOD had been in failing health for two years or
more, and had been confined to his bed for about two months before his death. He was even in his latter years, a fine
looking man, and in young manhood, he must have had a splendid nature, as he stood more than six feet high even in
his old age. He had a heart that was as kind and sympathetic as a woman's and no one ever went to him, for a favor or act of kindness who returned empty handed. Every man was truly his brother and his charity to humanity was equaled by very few and surpassed by none as far as his ability permitted.
Mr. Atwood was born near Golden Pond, Trigg county, on December 04, 1850, which made him seventy one years old his last birthday.
He was the olest child of John H and Martha FORGUSON ATWOOD, and grew to manhood in the section, but about the time he reached his majority moved over on this side of the Cumberland to reside and has lived within a few miles of Cadiz every since that time.
He was married to Miss Martha A. JONES December 10, 1875, and to that union was born several children of both sexes.
He was a consistent and faithful member of the congregation of Blue Spring Baptist Church, just over the line in Caldwell County, where he had held his membership continuously for more than forty years.
Funeral services were conducted by Rev. John T. Cunningham, of Princeton, at the late residence yesterday afternoon,
immediately following which interment took place in the family lot in East End Cemetery in this city.
Mr. Atwood left surviving, his widow, three sons, State Senator H.P. Atwood, Messrs, Julian Atwood, merchant of this city, and Garnett C. Atwood, of near Gracey and three daughters, Miss Nora, who resided with her parents, and Mesdames H.G. Wadlington, of Murray, and J.O. Alexander, of near Wallonia; also two brothers, Messrs John ATWOOD, of
Mayfield, and A.T. ATWOOD, of Hugo, Okla.
