 ==Obituary==
 ''On Friday evening the people of the vicinity were shocked at hearing the sand intelligence concerning the sudden death of our highly esteemed citizen, William H. Posson.  The deceased was a lifelong member of the Dutch Reformed church.  He was an active participant in all church affairs and was honored by holding many important positions in the church.  He saw four years of active service in the civil war.  He was a member of Charles McCulloch post, No. 645 G.A.R.  The confidence reposed in him by that fraternity is evidently seen when we but consider his recent installation as commander of that post for the third time.  His wise counsel and advice will be greatly missed by all the members.  His cheerfulness vanished all cares and discontent smoothed and composed the passion and kept the soul of him, who had the grand opportunity to contact with his buoyant disposition, in a perpetual calm.  He so lived that he was very dear to the people and in such a manner that we may justly compare him to the sun of a system, beaming warmth and gladness to every heart.   He was a true representative of that class of men who try to make the world better by having lived in it, and his endeavors were not in vain.  The loss sustained by the young men, with whom he was a great favorite can never be replaced, but we all have one consolation in knowing that the kind words that he has spoken  to us can never die but will perpetuate his name to posterity, while he has departed to receive the noble reward which his Heavenly Father has prepared for him.  He is survived by a wife; two daughters; two sons and a legion of friends to mourn their loss.  The obsequies were conducted by the Rev. DeGraff.  G.W. Mattice, undertaker.
