Waco Daily Times Herald - Thursday April 29, 1909
FUNERAL OF J. S. M'LENDON
The funeral of J. S. M'Lendon is taking place at 3 o'clock
this afternoon at the First Presbyterian church, conducted by Rev. C. T. Caldwell and the Masonic Fraternity of Waco.
Interment will be at Oakwood Cemetery, and many friends of this good man will follow him to his last resting place, feeling a sense of personal loss in his taking off. General
expressions have all gone to show the high esteem in which he was held, and the sorrow at the news of his death.
Telegrams were received yesterday from all parts of the state, as news of the death of Major McLendon went out of Waco by wire yesterday morning to the afternoon papers, and these messages contained expression s similar to those heard here.
The Masons will take charge at the church after the service
by Dr. C. T. Caldwell and will conduct the service at the grave, under an escort of Knights Templar. Seats will be reserved at the church for the family, pall bearers, Masons, Knights Templar, Confederates, school trustees, and the faculty of TCU, and the employees of the Citizens' National Bank and McLendon Hardware Company.
The banks of the city closed at 1 o'clock this afternoon and will remain closed the remainder of the day. The floral offerings are so profuse that it will be with difficulty that they can be placed in the space allotted in the church. There are many persons from out of the city, among these several from Calvert, where Mr. McLendon, lived before coming to Waco, and where he was generally beloved. The pall bearers are: Active-W. D. Lacy, J. F. Brinkerhoff, W. W. Seley, John W. Baker, L. B. Black, J. T. Davis, Honorary-C. H. Higginson, H. H. Shear, W. T. Watt, E. R. Nash, E. Rotan, Dr. H. C. Black, A. P. Duncan, Sam Sanger, A. C. Pedergast, Col. Chas. Hamilton, H. B. Mistrot, S. M. McAshan. (obit submitted by: anonymous request to be added to this memorial page)
