Mr. L. C. Pinkston, one of the most popular and best known gentlemen of Bohon, passed away Saturday, January 15, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. S. R. Teater. He was a high class gentleman in every respect, a good neighbor and a generous and true friend, and he will be sadly missed in the community where he lived. He possessed a strong will and battled bravely with the disease, but in vain. The funeral was held Sunday morning at Bethel Baptist church, where he was a devoted member, conducted by his pastor, Rev. Talbott, of Louisville, and the burial was in the Bethel cemetery. Five children survive him, Mrs. S. R. Teater, Mrs. J. L. Lay, Messrs. Price, Thomas and Burdette Pinkston, and also two brothers, J. W. Pinkston, of Rochelle, Ill., and Eleran Pinkston, of Willisburg. He leaves 35 grandchildren, 30 great-grandchildren and two great-great- grandchildren.
