As briefly noted in the Standard last week, Mr. Asa H. Faulkner died quite suddenly at his home in Nashville Wednesday morning, Sept. 3, from heart trouble. Mr. Faulkner was born on a farm in Warren county in December, 1855, and remained a resident of the county until he moved to Nashville with his family some two to three years ago. For a number of years he was engaged in the mercantile business in McMinnville. He was active in political affairs and for many years one of the most prominent and aggressive leaders of the Republican party in the county.
He was appointed postmaster in the Harrison administration and served until succeeded by Mr. D.F. Wallace during Cleveland's second administration. He was again appointed to the office by President McKinley and served through the administration of Roosevelt and Taft until succeeded by Mr. A.R. Hammer in Wilson's first administration. He also served as United States Commissioner here for a number of years.
Mr. Faulkner was a man of strong force of character and earnest convictions, and in both his private and public life was clean, upright and dependable, standing always four square for civic righteousness and vigorous law enforcement. He was a member of the Baptist church from boyhood and exemplified through life the distinctive characteristics of a Christian gentleman.
Funeral services were held at the home in Nashville Thursday. The body reached here at noon Friday and was buried in Riverside cemetery from the train with prayer service at the grave by Rev. F. M. Dowell. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Jennie Cunningham Faulkner; daughters, Mrs. C.J. Bryan of McMinnville, Mrs. F.W. Muse of Hickman, Ky., Mrs. Neal F. Parker and Mrs. F.A. Rutledge of Nashville; son, C.H. Faulkner of Tallahassee, Fla., and brother, C.L. Faulkner of Nashville, all of whom were here to attend the funeral except Mrs. Rutledge.
