John V. MCPHERSON, aged 84 years, died at the home of his son, W.R. MCPHERSON in Stilwell last Thursday.

The deceased came to this section with his parents from Tennessee in early childhood.

He served his district in Indian Territory tribal days in various official roles, for several years judge of Goingsnake district.

He was a Confederate soldier, and was very proud that he had three grandsons in the American army in France to bring the German government to submission. One of these grandsons had twice been severely wounded, another is with the army of occupation now in Germany.

The old MCPHERSON home was in the Chalk Bluff neighborhood, where he raised a family of seven children, one only survives him.

Burial was conducted by the Flint Lodge of Masons, of which the deceased was a charter member, at the Chalk Bluff Cemetery Friday afternoon.
