Mr. R.H. MCGUIRE, a well known and highly respected citizen of this community, died on Thursday morning at his home on Whitley Branch, near North Tazewell. He had been suffering more or less for a year from some trouble in his back. For ten days preceding his death his suffering were intense. Physicians were summoned, and after consultation, decided that he could not possibly recover, and that an operation might perhaps prolong life. Upon examination it was found that his trouble was cancerous, his whole body being affected, and nothing could be done to save him. Death came to his relief yesterday morning as stated. About 30 years ago he married Miss Sallie
LITZ, daughter of the late Jno. LITZ, of Tazewell, sister to A.Z.
LITZ, of this town. At the time of his marriage he was living in Bland County. Later he moved to Tazewell. Besides his widow he leaves ten children, 6 boys and 4 girls, to mourn is death. He was about 58 years of age, and a member of the Methodist church. The funeral services will take place tomorrow morning from the Methodist church at North Tazewell, and interment is in the new cemetery.
