ANOTHER OLD VETERAN PASSING

Condition of T. A. Crockett Wat Very Critical Yesterday. The condition of Thomas A. Crockett, who has been in poor health, for ♦several months and for the past few weeks has been confined to his bed, taking practically no nourishment for a week or more, was very critical as /The Democrat went to press, and the end was apparently a question of hours only. His son Robert came from Detroit, Mich., early in the week and the other children are at his bedside also. Mr. Ctqckett is a veteran of the civil WV and a highly respected citizen. His present illness dates back several months, but he had been about all the time until quite recently. He is unable to retain any nourishment, and for this reason his decline has been rapid for the past several days.
