GILBERT HOLLINGSWORTH DEAD
Another old time citizen has left us; the long and interesting life of Gilbert Hollingsworth has come to an end. Mr. Hollingsworth died at his home near Starke Monday, after a general breaking up caused by old age. His last illness was of short duration, and he did not take to his bed before weakness compelled him to do so. His age was 78 years.
Mr. Hollingsworth came to Bradford county with his father, a physician, while a small boy. They moved to Starke shortly before the Civil war, the doctor having his office where the office of J. R. Davis & Co. is now located.
While yet a lad Gilbert Hollingsworth entered the Confederate service, where his record was honorable. His youth was spent among stirring scenes, and some of these, in which his father and he took part at home, can be read of in Florida's reconstruction history. Later his life was quiet and even, his occupation being mostly that of a farmer in Starke or in the Raiford section. He was a man much respected for his intelligence and good moral qualities. He was the oldest male citizen of Starke and had seen first one, then another of his old friends pass away; he was weary of life and complacently awaited the final call.
The deceased leaves to mourn his loss his widow, one son, Mr. F. C. Hollingsworth, of Starke, two daughters, Mrs. Lacy Ritch, of Plant City, and Mrs. C. H. Marks, of Morristown, S. D., and two sisters, Mrs. Lucy Hemingway and Mrs. Amanda Jones, of Starke. To these bereaved relatives is extended the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community.
The funeral services were held at the late home of the deceased at 11 a. m. Tuesday by Rev. Ralph Bowers. The interment was at Conner cemetery. The pallbearers were, Messrs W. T.Wee ks, L. C. Powell, N. T Ritch, N. D. Wainwright, W. E. Davis, J. M. Alvarez, Funeral Director D. C. Jones had charge of funeral arrangements.
