Rev. J.W. Blackburn, a well-known Methodist minister, aged fifty-eight years, died at 4 o'clock Sunday morning at his home on North Twentieth Street of paralysis, which gradually began to affect him about two years ago, since which time he had been an invalid.
He was not considered in any immediate danger, however, until two or three days before his death.
He was born in Cleveland, TN, and came to Texas in infancy with his father, who is located in Collin County at the present site of Plano.
He was ordained to the ministry thirty-five years ago and had been engaged in active work until his last illness, he having never been transferred from the North Texas Conference, in which he was ordained.
He had charge of the Paris circuit for some time.
He is survived by his wife and three sons, George P. Blackburn, an attorney of Paris, Ernest E. Blackburn, manager of the Western Union telegraph office at Winnsboro, and Clarence W. Blackburn, a Sante Fe brakeman.
The funeral was held at 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon at Centenary Church and was conducted by Rev. W.F. Bryan, M.J. Hamilton, W.T. Whiteside, W.J. Bludworth, W.D. Mountcastle and Adams.
Interment was at Evergreen Cemetery.
