Notes

OBITUARY: Waco Daily Times Herald, Waco, Texas, 20 March 1907.
Doctor Frank H. Dennis, age 68 years, died last night at the residence of his sister, Mrs. A. P. Coleman, of North Thirteenth street, after an illness of some time caused from cancer of the face.

Doctor Dennis, who is the brother of R. T. and E. C. Dennis of this city, came here several weeks ago from Mobile, Ala., on account of his health, and has been here since. He has grown gradually worse and worse until last night when the end came. Within the past week it has been plainly evident that the end could not be long delayed. Dr. Dennis was one of the valued citizens of Mobile, and has made many friends in Waco during the short time he has been in the city.

Arrangements for the funeral have not yet been made, as R. T. Dennis, who has been in New York, is now on his way home and will reach here either tonight or tomorrow. Announcement can then be made as to the funeral.

Doctor Dennis was a Mason and also a Confederate veteran. [During theWar Between the States, he served in Company D, 14th MississippiInfantry Regiment.]

Waco Daily Times Herald, Waco, Texas, 21 March 1907
The funeral of Dr. F. H. Dennis, whose death has already been announced will occur in the morning at 10 o'clock from the residence of his sister, Mrs. Coleman, at No. 802 North Thirteenth street, Rev. A. B. Ingram, pastor of the Columbus Street Baptist Church, will officiate at the funeral exercises, after which the remains will be turned over to the Masonic order, and the exercises at the grave will be conducted by the Masons.
