Martin,  John S.

DEATH OF JOHN S. MARTIN REMOVES GOOD CITIZEN

LONG CAREER IDENTIFIED WITH CITY'S BEST ANNALS

Pillar in Chosen Church, Success in Business and Model Home Maker, He Is Sincerely Mourned.

 In the death of John S. Martin, which took place yesterday morning, after a brief illness induced by an angry carbuncle, Chattanooga lost on of its most useful citizens and successful businessmen. The suddenness of his death shocked the community and occasioned widespread regret. Last Friday it was first announced that Mr. Martin was in critical condition. Saturday evening the word was given out that he showed signs of improvement and his friends were led Sunday to believe that he would recover. Sunday night the news was again doubtful and during the forenoon yesterday the word had scattered on the street that he had succumbed brought many a response in keeping with the statement made at the beginning of this sketch.

 Not more than five years after the close of the civil war Mr. Martin, then a young man of unbounded ambition in a business way, came to Chattanooga. He made this city his home since that early date and there was no man more loyal to the city's highest interest than he. In those early days he made investments in real estate which at that time represented but moderate outlay and gave as moderate promise of later profits. Incidents are told of predictions made by him in those times of what Chattanooga would be some day, and he held on to his property until his predictions had made good. He was first engaged in the wholesale business and it has not been so long since he retired to any extent from activity in mercantile lines.

 He was born in Georgia sixty-nine years ago. He enlisted when a mere lad in the confederate army. In fact, it is a part of his record that it required the appeals of his mother, who had unbounded faith in him and the righteousness of the confederate cause, to convince the requiting officer that he was strong enough to carry a musket. He served in the battles around Chattanooga and was twice wounded. He was mustered out as a first lieutenant. A trouble he had for years with one of his eyes was due to injury received in the confederate service. He came to Chattanooga as a young man, married here and raised a family, every member of whom is among the most highly respected of the local citizenship.

 Possibly in no line of endeavor will the efforts and influence of the deceased be missed so much as in church circles. He was a power in Centenary church, of which he has been a member since his conversion in a Sam Jones meeting in this city long years ago. The circumstances of his conversion would read like a romance - when he became offended at some of that famous revivalist's strictures upon conduct in life then regarded by many as respectable and highly proper, and seeking the preacher in his hotel room proceeded to have it out with him; the record being that he left with a promise that he would attend one of the Jones services. He went and the result was that he joined the church and was a church member from that day. He has served for years as chairman of the official board of the Centenary church and has been a conservative force that to an extent checked the radical tendencies of some of his associates. He was a liberal contributor to church finances, never asking any man to give while his own purse was closed. He was chairman of the building committee having in hand the erection of a fine new building at the corner of McCallie and Lindsay. In fact, he has been the chief moving spirit for the new church and doubtless his greatest disappointment was when he found that his death would find that work uncompleted. He has been Sunday school superintendent, worker in the Ramsey class, builder of missions and giver of thousands to current needs of his congregation. With all these qualities known to the public, he was at the same time a model home maker and his was a most devoted family.

 Funeral services have been announced for this afternoon from the residence at 3 o'clock, conducted by his pastor, the Rev. W. E. Thompson. To these services friends of the family are invited. Interment in Forest Hills will be private. The pallbearers will be Lavens M. Thomas, J. I. Carter, R. B. Davenport, John H. McReynolds, James T. Thompson, J. P. Smartt, T. O. Trotter and W. F. Hutcheson.

 Mr. Martin is survived by his wife, who was Miss Kirkpatrick; one son, John S. Jr., and four daughters - Mrs. Kirkland, of Atlanta; Mrs. Hamrick, of South Carolina, and Misses Katherine and Rose, of this city.

Laid To Rest

Obsequies Over the Remains of the Late W. A. Martin

The funeral services over the remains of the late W. A. Martin were held yesterday at the family residence on McCallie street, at 2:30 o'clock, the Rev. J. W. Bachman officiating, assisted by Revs. G. C. Rankin and J. T. Christian.

At the appointed hour the house, yard and sidewalk in front of the residence were crowded with the friends and acquaintances of the deceased, and when the tones of the organ sounded out the solemn prelude to a favorite hymn of the deceased and the First Presbyterian church choir took up the words and music, every head in the vast audience was bred and many an eye was wet in token of the esteem in which the deceased was held.

Rev. J. W. Bachman gave a most impressive and touching discourse as to the condition of those who die in the faith, and dwelt on the virtues and many manly and admirable qualities of the deceased. He spoke in his usual tender and impressive way, and frequently words of genuine pathos and emotion escaped him as he spoke of the great interest the dead man had evinced in his spiritual condition while in the midst of life.

Members of the N. B. Forrest Camp, Confederate Veterans, were present in a body and wore the uniform at the present worn by the association - black hats with gold bands with the initials "C. V." fastened on the upturned brims.

At the conclusion of the services the remains were taken to Forest Hill cemetery, attended by the entire camp and a long line of carriages occupied by friends and acquaintances of the deceased, where they were finally interred with the religious ceremonies of the camp.

Large numbers attended the burial taking the dummy line at the King street station.

Thus was laid to his last resting place another of Chattanooga's best and most highly esteemed older citizens.

McClatchey, W. P. 

Dies at Ripe Old Age

 Maj. W. P. McClatchey, Confederate soldier, lawyer and writer, died last night at 12:12 o’clock at his home, 410 East Second street, after an illness of six days. Maj. McClatchey was born in McMinn county, Tennessee, Feb. 16, 1847, of an old family which traces back to William Penn and other early settlers. He removed to Chattanooga in 1886 and engaged in the practice of law. For many years he was counsel for the Western & Atlantic railroad. He attended the veterans’ picnic on the mountain last Wednesday and returned home ill. Pneumonia developed, and, with an attack of heart trouble following, caused his death. He is survived by his wife and three daughters, Miss Annie Kate McClatchey, of Chattanooga; Mrs. Tom Merriam, of Rome, Ga., and Mrs. E. H. Porter, of Vicksburg, Miss., all of whom were with him when he died. Funeral arrangements will be announced later.

 Maj. McClatchey was born at Sweetbriar Hill, McMinn county, Tennessee, Feb. 16, 1847. His father, Wiley Jarratt McClatchey, was a native of Buncombe county, North Carolina, and his mother, whose maiden name was Minerva Lear? Rowles, was born in Hagerstown, Md. He received instruction at the Georgia Military institute and at Emor college, Oxford, Ga. At a very early age he became a Confederate soldier, being mustered into service with a battalion of Georgia cadets, and later transferred to the Texas Rangers. Then he was assigned to the field transportation department, then to staff duty with Gen. W. T. Woford. For this service he would have been commissioned as an officer, but the surrender occurred before his commission was received and he remained a private. He served under both Gen. Joseph E. Johnston and Gen. J. B. Hood. He was on a march from Jonesboro, Ga., to Nashville, Tenn., when they were ordered back to Macon, Ga., with a portion of the supply train, just before the battle of Franklin, Tenn. When Gen. Johnston surrendered at Greensboro, N. C., McClatchey and five others started to join the trans-Mississippi department, but they were captured by Gen. Juda, near Kingston, Ga., and paroled.

 The battle service undergone by Mr. McClatchey was at Resaca, New Hope church, Kennesaw mountain, around Atlanta, at Peachtree creek and Jonesboro, all in Georgia.

 He came to Chattanooga Jan. 5, 1887. He was, as he expressed it, “always a Georgia democrat, was never very active in politics, but generally let it be known where I stood on all public questions.” It is improbably that Mr. McClatchey would ever have received public office here, because of his disinclination to the practical side of politics, but for certain democratic disharmony upon a certain issue in 1894.

 The city councilmen could not agree upon a candidate for recorder for the city judge to be selected from the known aspirants, and to his great surprise McClatchey was selected and elected as a compromise man. Of course, the negro element known in police circles was interested in the personality of the man who had been selected to that important office, and it was said they were in a sense panic stricken when it became known that he was not only a Georgia democrat but a veteran of the Confederate army, of Georgia rearing. But Judge McClatchey, as everybody who knew him well could testify, was not only one of the mildest mannered of men, but one of the kindliest in his sentiments regarding people who seemed at all disposed to behave themselves or attempt doing so. An officious negro janitor put up a notice in the city court room, “No Smoking Aloud,” and the judge did not directly rebuke him for the unwarranted action, nor even in words criticize his spelling of the last word in the restrictive legend. He simply directed him to take the placard down, saying, “If people are going to smoke in here, I would just as soon they smoke aloud as any other way.” In the whole course of his official career he was noted for moderation and fine sense of justice. The Negroes were so impressed by these qualities that after his retirement they presented to him a gold-headed cane, upon which was engraved his name and the characters “1861 to 1865.” The presentation speech was made by a negro lawyer. When Judge McClatchey inquired why those figures were used, the man replied, “To emphasize the fact that you were a Confederate soldier and a democrat, and have treated our race with more fairness than any other man that ever occupied the office.” This cane, Judge McClatchey declared, was one of his most valued possessions.

 Judge McClatchey was for many years a member of the Chattanooga bar, and it is high praise of him to say that he always had the cordial esteem of all those lawyers who hold professional ethics and personal integrity the most essential elements of a true lawyer’s character. He was familiar with Georgia law and practice, wherefore his opinions were often sought relating to interests in that state, and he was frequently called to practice there.

 He married Miss Julia E. Allen, native of Marietta, Ga.

Middleton,  Captain Hugh M. 

SUDDEN DEATH OF WELL KNOWN CITIZEN

Was a Confederate Veteran, a Former Member of the County Court and

a Prominent Democrat - Fell Dead While Seated in a Chair at his home

on McCallie Avenue

 About 1:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, while seated in the dining room of his residence, No. 101 McCallie avenue, Esquire Hugh M. MIDDLETON was taken ill of heart trouble and in less than five minutes, and before medical aid, which had been hurriedly summoned, could arrive, he was dead.

 For several months he has been complaining of heart trouble and he seemed to have a kind of premonition as what was in store for him, as he often remarked that he believed he would die of heart failure and that the time of his death was not far off.  Yesterday he seemed in excellent health and the fatal attack came while he was talking to his wife and E. O. WELLS, his son-in-law.  While he was speaking, he fell from his seat as though in a faint and in the arms of Mr. WELLS he was carried to his bedroom.  A physician was sent for, but when Dr. NOLEN arrived life had been extinct for several minutes.

 The deceased leaves a wife and four children, two boys and two daughters.  They are Harry and Charles MIDDLETON of Pittsburg, PA., Miss Margaret MIDDLETON of New York and Mrs. E. O. Wells of this city.

SKETCH OF THE DECEASED.

 Capt. Hugh M. MIDDLETON was born Aug. 20, 1835, near Cunningham, in Forsythe Co., GA.  He moved with his parents Capt. and Mrs. John MIDDLETON of Chattanooga county near Summerville, in the same state, in the year 1838.  His father died there in the same year, leaving his widow, Matilda MIDDLETON, and five sons, Albert, Andrew J., John, Hugh M., and William P. MIDDLETON.

 Albert MIDDLETON died in Mexico in the year 1847, being at that time a member of Capt. William FULTON'S company of cavalry.  William P. MIDDLETON died near Centreville, Va., in December, 1861, a member of Company B, Ninth Georgia volunteer infantry, C. S. A.  Andrew J. MIDDLETON died in April, 1897, in Gordan county, ten miles north of Calhoun, Ga.  John MIDDLETON died at an early age, about 1840, at that time being seven years old.

 Hugh M. MIDDLETON married Miss Mary A. CARTER at Summerville, Ga., in June, 1860.  In the early months of the year 1862 he helped to organize Company H. Thirty-ninth Georgia infantry, and was elected third lieutenant.  In the regular order of promotion he was made captain of the company in the early part of 1864 while the Confederate army was in winter quarters at Dalton, Ga.

Middleton, Mrs. Mary A. 

Mrs. Mary A. Middleton, "Veteran" Of Three Wars, Dies at Age 85

Mrs. Mary A. MIDDLETON, 85, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. E. O. WELLS, 833 Oak Street, at 7 o'clock last night.  She had been ill but a short time.

Mrs. Middleton, wife of the late H. M. MIDDLETON, was born in Rome, Ga, on May 12, 1844.  She was married to Capt. MIDDLETON in Summerville Ga., in 1860.  At the close of the War Between the States the couple moved to Elizabethtown, Ky., where they lived until 1890, when they moved to Chattanooga.

Capt. MIDDLETON died in 1903, and since that time Mrs. MIDDLETON has made her home with her daughter, Mrs. WELLS.

Mrs. MIDDLETON was recognized as a veteran of three wars -- the Civil war, the Spanish - American, and the World war.  During these times she was always among the foremost to volunteer her services to her country.  In addition to her work in time of war, Mrs. MIDDLETON served as chairman of benevolent work of the Gen. A. P. Stewart chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy for thirty-two years.  She was a charter member of that organization and in recognition of her services to needy Confederate veterans she was made honorary president of the chapter for life.

She was a charter member of the Pine Breeze Sanitorium association, charter member of the Y. W. C. A. and member of auxiliaries to the Y. M. C. A., and a member of the directorate of the Old Ladies' home.  She has been a member of this latter board for twenty-five years. 

Mrs. MIDDLETON was a daughter of the late John Edington CARTER and Mary Wooten (actually her parents were Edington Jefferson CARTER and Mary "Polly" WATKINS), who ere regarded as among the oldest settlers in Georgia.  Mr. CARTER, a veteran contractor, is said to have built the first house with windowpanes to have been constructed in the Rome community.  The house was owned by the late John P. LONG.

She is survived by two daughters. Mrs. E. O. WELLS, of Chattanooga, and Mrs. Frank HEARTY, of San Francisco.  A surviving son, Charles B. MIDDLETON, of Hollywood, Cal., is affiliated with the Motion Picture industry as an actor of considerable ability.  He appeared in Chattanooga in "Safety Last," a Harold Lloyd picture, and is scheduled to appear here soon in another Lloyd production and in one in which Rod LaRoque is starred.

Mrs. MIDDLETON is also survived by two grandchildren, Mrs. Edward BLAKE, of Chattanooga, and Miss Leora MIDDLETON, of Hollywood.

At her mother's request, Mrs. WELLS has asked Mrs. MIDDLETON'S host of friends to pleas refrain from sending floral tributes.

Funeral services will be conducted Tuesday morning at 10:30 o'clock at the First Christian church (I think that this could be First Presbyterian), the Rev. James L. FOWLE officiating.  Interment will follow at Citizen's cemetery.  Jack O'DONOHUE is in charge of arrangements.

Moon, William F.

COL. W. F. MOON

DEATH OF THE WELL KNOWN CITIZEN AT HIS HOME YESTERDAY.

Attacked With la Grippe Some Months Ago – At One Time One of the Most Successful Business Men of This Section.

 Col. William F. Moon, the aged father of Congressman John A. Moon, died at an early hour yesterday morning at his home, No. 428 Oak street. Deceased had been ill for a number of months and the end had been expected for several days.

 About three months ago Col. Moon contracted a severe cold, which rapidly developed into la grippe, but he was not taken to his bed until about three weeks ago after having returned from a visit to his daughter, Mrs. J. M. Chauncey, who resides in Knoxville. The malady settled in his back and the direct cause of death was hardening of the spine. He had been unconscious since Saturday.

Biographical.

 Col. Moon was one of the best-known citizens of East Tennessee, having resided in this county since shortly after the war. He was born in Scottsville, Va., Sept. 5, 1832. For many years he conducted a large grain business in this city, from which he accumulated a competence, and at one time was the manager of a line of steamers running between this city and upper river points. He retired from business several years ago on account of declining health, and had since resided with his son Congressman Moon. He leaves a wife and five children, Hon. John A. Moon, Mrs. J. M. Chauncey, of Knoxville, Mrs. J. S. Boldridge, of Lancaster, S. C. and Misses Willie and Sallie Moon.

Funeral

 The Funeral will occur this morning at 10 o’clock from the late residence on Oak street, Revs. R. D. Haymore and J. W. Bachman officiating. The interment will take place at Forest Hills cemetery.

Moore, Alonzo Monroe 

CAPT. A. M. MOORE, EX-FIREMAN, DIES
Retired From Department in 1932 - Served 48 Years

Capt. Alonzo Monroe (Buck) Moore, 87, who was retired from the Chattanooga fire department in 1932 after 48 years of service with the city, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. A.M. Marshall, 2401 Chamberlain Avenue, at 8:05 o'clock yesterday morning.
Capt. Moore, a resident of Chattanooga for 73 years, served for five years as a volunteer fireman before joining the city department, and often recalled to friends the days of horse-drawn engines.  In an interview in The Times a year prior to his retirement, he cited 1891 as probably the most disastrous year in the city's history from the standpoint of damage by fire.  A series of big fires throughout the year was climaxed with the Loveman Building fire on Dec. 26, followed almost immediately by a damaging blaze in the Gottschalk Furniture Store.
Capt. Moore is survived by his wife, Mrs. Mary Jane Moore, Chattanooga: three daughters, Mrs. W. H. Black, Daisy; Miss Hattie Mae Moore and Mrs. Annabel Marshall, Chattanooga; five sons, Elmer M. Moore, Rome, Ga.: Charles A. Moore, Chattanooga Valley; Garris E. and J. E. Moore, Chattanooga, and A.M. Moore Jr, Boynton, Ga.: 17 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.
Funeral Services will be held at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning at the Broad Street Methodist Church, which Capt. Moore helped to move to its present location from Vulcan and Williams streets.  The Revs. W. H. Black, Paul Morris and Mr. Wolfe will conduct the ceremonies.  Interment will be in Forest Hills Cemetery.  Pallbearers will be Bill Harris, Capt. A. E. McClure, Capt. W.F. Park, Jim Long, John Edwards and Jim Duggan.  The body is at the home, 705 Dodds Avenue.

Morgan, William W. 

WILLIAM W. MORGAN DIES OF PARALYSIS.  YOUNG MAN SUCCUMBS TO UNUSUAL MALADY AFTER BRIEF ILLNESS

William W. Morgan, 22 years of age, a well-known amateur ball player and an employee at the local post office, died shortly after 5:00 yesterday morning at the Newell Sanitarium following an illness of five days.  His death was due to ascending paralysis induced by toxemia and the case is unique in local medical annals.
    It is believed that young Morgan ate some indigestible food which produced acute indigestion and later toxemia.  In this way his nervous system became affected by what is known as ascending paralysis.  First, his lower limbs and stomach were affected, the deadly paralysis creeping meanwhile toward vital organs.  Yesterday morning the disease reached the respiratory organs and the young man died, passing from life into death painlessly and peacefully.
    When brought to the sanitarium Friday, it was at once seen that young Morgan could not recover and that death with him was only a question of a few days.  No hope was held out for his recovery and the physicians merely labored to make the end as peaceful as possible.  Many local physicians were called to see the patient because of the fact that the disease which caused his death is so rare and unusual.
    Young Morgan had been employed at the post office for about four years and during that time was a favorite among his fellow workers.  He was more popularly known, however, as an amateur ball player having been a member of the East Chattanooga team in the city league.  He was a catcher and an able hitter while his base running made him a favorite with the grandstand.  After the city league dissolved, young Morgan continued as an amateur ball player, first as a backstop for the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga team and later with various crack amateur organizations around the city.  
    He went Saturday, July 3, to Trion, Georgia and returning to the city without removing his uniform, caught cold which may have indirectly led to his fatal illness.
    He was a member of Sherman Heights Lodge, Knights of the Pythias and was extremely popular not alone in that suburb, but throughout the city.  
    He is survived by his father, mother and two sisters, all of whom live at Ooltewah where the funeral will be held this morning at 10:00.  It is probable that a large number of friends from this city will attend funeral services.
