News reached Knoxville yesterday of the death at Toledo, Ohio, of Capt. W. S. Sizer, of Mossy Creek. He had gone there on business some time ago and died suddenly at noon Thursday. The news of his death will be a great shock to his many friends in this section.

He was a good and useful citizen. For several years he has been interested in manufacturing at Mossy Creek where he and his associates had built up a large and successful business.

His death will be universally deplored. The remains will arrive at Knoxville this morning and will be taken immediately to Mossy Creek. Funeral services will be held at the residence in that place at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Friends are invited.
