On our return to our desk, after several weeks’ absence on account of a severe attack of influenza, we learn of the death of our good friend, Dr. A. R. Nason, at his residence at Tomnolen, October 19th from influenza, followed by pneumonia. Dr. Nason was just reaching the meridian of life and usefulness to his country. There is sadness in every death, but in the death of one that meant so much to a devoted wife, three small children, and a whole community, the grief is made all the heavier to bear. Dr. Nason was born and reared to manhood in Choctaw county, and soon after completing his medical course, he located his practice at Tomnolen. He was a most affable gentleman. He always had a word of encouragement. He was never too tired, the nights too dark, or the weather too bad to answer a summons to attend the sick and afflicted.
