lie Died at 111. Home Lut Night—Ail Old
Settler.
Judge J. M. Blount, a pioneer citi-
zen of Denton county, and in his prime
one of the prominent men of North
Texas, died at his home on South Elm
street at 7:55 o'clock last night. He
was a few months past 76 yea's of age.
Death w*s caused by cancer, from
which he had suffered for a long time,
superinduced by a severe attack of la
grippe, which his enfeebled constitu-
tion was unable to stand. His second
wife and his four living children were
with him when the death summons
came.
Judge J. M. Blount was born in
Mississippi in 1822. In 1840 he was
married to Miss Sophie Caudle and they
lived in Mississippi until 1856, when
they moved to Texas, settling in Denton
county. With Judge Carroll, Judge
Welch and others Judge Blount laid out
the city of Denton. He was elected
county judge a few years after his ar-
rival in Denton county, which position
he held for several terms. In 1866 he
ran for and was elected to the state
senate, but, with the other state offi-
cials elected at that time, was removed
by the Federal government as being ini-
mical to the progress of reconstruction.
After tl.at time he also held several
minor city and county offices. He was
a Royal Arch Mason and a consistent
member i f the First Baptist church.
He was a man well liked by everybody
who knew him ; he was a man whom
anybody could implicitb trust and was
a good example of the pioneers who are
responsible for the development of such
a country as this.
Surviving him, besides his wife, are
four chi dren—Mrs J c Smith, Keller,
Mrs c W Geers. Mrs Alvin c Owsiev
and Dr J P Blonnt of Denton.
The burial will take place at the city
cemetery to-morrow (Friday) morning
at 10 o'clock. The burial will be with
Masonic honors.

moved from here to California several
years ago. She leaves two children to

both of whom are married. She was a
devoted mother and her life was one of
