Mr. Christian was the son of John B. and Jane Christian of Augusta county, and brother of the late Col. Bolivar Christian. He was educated at Washington College, now Washington and Lee, and served the Confederacy in the 10th Va. cavalry. He was a man of fine natural ability, which he cultivated through life by reading and study, being one of the best informed men in the county. Social, hospitable and generous, he was known and esteemed all over the county. For many years he had been a prominent member of Bethel Presbyterian church. Mr. Christian married Miss Martha Sproul, who died many years ago. Surviving Mr. Christian are six children from this union: Mr. Lee S. Christian of the county, Mrs. B.F. Cockrell of Nashville, Tenn., and Misses Fannie, Sallie, Mary and Mattie Christian, at home. He was also related to many of the well known families of this county. The funeral took place Sunday afternoon from Bethel church, and was conducted by Rev. C.L. Altfather, the pastor. A large concourse assembled to pay tribute to a departed friend and neighbor, quite a number attending from this city. The following gentle men acted as pall bearers: Active -- Messrs. John H. McClure, Wilson M. Brown, W.W. King, R.F. Wallace, J. Marshall McClure and Dr. C.W. Roller. Honorary -- Messrs. Samuel F. Pilson, John W. Churchman, J. Alex Bumgardner, R.F. Larew, Frank H.
