Arthur Poole died Sunday night at the Standifer Hospital after a brief illness of locked bowels. The remains were interred Monday in the Spur Cemetery, funeral services being conducted at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. C.P. Poole, Monday afternoon at 3:30.Arthur Poole was a young man, just assuming manhood's estate with a most promising future and a worthy and useful life ahead. He had acquired a thorough business education, a superior capacity in business dealings and possessed a knowledge of business life which ably fitted him to combat the battles of commercial life. He was a young man of integrity and ability, modest, unassuming and had the friendship and respect of associates and acquaintances, and his death is a sad occurrence and deplored by the whole community.
He was sick only two or three days, medical aid failing to have a desired effect he was moved to the Standifer Hospital where an operation was performed to relieve the internal derangement. Mrs. Poole, who at the time was in Putman for her health, was sent for and returned home to be with her son during his past hours. The Texas Spur extends sincerest sympathy to the parents and relatives in this great bereavement.
