TROLINGER FUNERAL SET FOR 11 A.M. TOMORROW
Body Of Beloved Pulaski Citizen Lies in State; Passed Away Yesterday After Weeks of Illness
Funeral services for James T. Trolinger, 91, former member of the state legislators, Civil war veteran and retired farmer, who passed away yesterday afternoon at the apartment of Mrs. Walter C. Price, his only daughter, after a few weeks illness, will be held tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock from the Methodist church.
The body is lying in state today and part of tomorrow at the church so that his host of friends may get a last view. Mr. Trolinger, one of the best known and most beloved residents of this section, took ill shortly before Christmas, gradually growing weaker until the end. During the past months he was frequently seen on the streets, chatting with friends, always pleasant, never complaining. Often he made his daily trip downtown with great effort but patient and willing. He Went to his death with a smile, often having expressed a willingness to go saying he did not wish to live to become a burden.
"Uncle Jimmy," as most knew him as, was unusually active for one his age and liked to read until his eyesight became dim during his last few years. He recalled many incidents of the early days, his experiences with the men who made Southern history and possessed a mind that was unusually brilliant.
His outstanding Christian character, his friendly spirit, his counsel made James T. Trolinger a man whose place will be hard to fill in Pulaski. He was an example of high type citizen, neighbor and friend that endeared him to everyone. He spread sunshine, radiant and good through all walks of life, never refusing to aid a friend in distress, always ready and willing to give counsel and to aid any project for the good of his fellowman.
He was born and reared east of Dublin. His father, John T. Trolinger, named that town, and joined with Stephen Trinkle, grandfather of former Governor E. Lee Trinkle in donating the railway station site, and he was 12 when the first train ran to that stop. At 18 he was one of the 85 Pulaski countians leaving to enlist in the Confederate army. They became a part of company C, fourth Va regiment, Stonewall brigade. Mr first engagement was the Battle of Manassas. At Kemstown, he was among those taken prisoner, first being taken to Baltimore and then to Fort Delaware. After the war he returned to the farm.
He represented the county in the state legislature in the 1906 and 1910 sessions. Some years ago he retired from farming, since which he has resided here. He was a lay preacher of the Methodist church, and his services were in constant demand by ministers of all denominations to fill appointments in their absence. Many years ago he inaugurated Sunday all day June meetings at various churches in the county, which drew hundreds of worshippers to each. His last service of this character was at Thornspring September 18 in observance of his 90th birthday, in the cemetery in which his body will rest.
There was rarely a funeral service of old or young in years that lie has not had part in all sections of the county, a record unequaled by all the ministers in the county.
Mr. Trolinger was a son of John and Mary Wygal Trolinger. April 8, 1886, he married Mary E. King and to this union the following children were born: John Edwin Trolinger, Henry Lewis Trolinger, William Pierce Trolinger, Ellen King Trolinger and twin girls who died at birth. He is survived by one son, Henry Lewis Trolinger, of Johnson City, TN, one daughter, Mrs. Walter Price, Pulaski, and four grandchildren, Mrs. Stanyarne Little, of Johnson City, TN; Mrs. R.J. Waugh, Pulaski; James T. Trolinger, Elizabethton, TN and Lewis S. Price, Pulaski.
Pall bearers: Dr. R. J. Waugh, E. P. Whitman, Frank Wysor, E L. Darst, James Trolinger Jr., Elizabethton, TN and W. H. Trolinger, Riner.
Flower bearers: Miss Margaret Bosang, Miss Viola Bosang, Mrs. Jim Bosang, Mrs. William Karman, Mrs. E.P. Whitman, Mrs. Louis Hiltzheimer, Mrs. Fitzhugh Mrs. R.C. Kunkel, Mrs. Alton Crowell, Mrs. George Painter, Mrs. Irvine Hiltzheimer, Mrs. Fitzhugh Hiltzheimer, Mrs. Hubert Hiltzheimer, Miss Belle Hiltzheimer, Miss Margaret Vermillion, Dublin; Mrs. R. R. Moore, Jr., Dublin; Mrs H.W. Thaxton, Miss Annie Neal Howard, Mrs. Curtis Jordan, Mrs. David Raflo, Mrs. W.H. Wysor, Miss Margaret Trolinger, Riner, Miss Julia Trolinger, Riner and Mrs. D.C. Laughon.
The services will be in charge of the Rev. M.A. Stevenson, pastor of the Methodist church, assisted by the Rev. W.B. Monell, WV, a former Pulaski resident. A majority of the business will close during the Funeral.
