Text J. B. Hanes of Cassville, passed away at the home of his son, Lester in this city, at about 10:30 o’clock, Thursday morning, following an illness extending over the past several weeks.

For the past year, his health has been declining but he was able to be up and attend to his duties at the Owl Drug Store, until about, one month go, when his condition more serious and he was taken to a Springfield hospital. After remaining at the hospital a few days he returned to his home here and in a short time made another trip to the hospital at which time he under-went an operation. The operation was successful but is condition was such that he could live but a few day. His death was caused by a bladder and kidney ailment.

Mr. Hanes was born in Hall county, Georgia, near Gainesville, Sept. 13, 1858, and was 69 years old. He first came to Barry county thirty years ago and engaged in the grocery business in Cassville. Going from here to Mena, Ark., where he engaged in the drug business for two years, he again returned to this city and again engaged in the drug where he remained every since, except a few months that he spent in California. For some years he was in business for himself, later associating himself in the business with Dr. D. L. Mitchell. Since that time he has been connected with the Owl Drug Co., here.

He leaves one son, Lester of Cassville, and one daughter, Mrs. George Bierman of Los Angeles, Calif., to mourn his passing and a host of friends. His good son attended him during his sickness and death. Mrs. Bierman was on her way from her home here and did not learn of her father’s death until her arrival here.

Impressive funeral services were conducted Sunday afternoon after which the remains were laid to rest in the Oak Hill cemetery under direction of Rorine’s Funeral Servcie. He was a member of the Masonic lodge and Masonic services were conducted at the grave.

The deceased was a man that always attended to his won affairs and had made many friends during the many years he faithfully served the people of this section. He was a man that always stood for right and his dealings at all times were honor able and straight.
