NEWSPAPER Issue of Thursday, APRIL 27, 1939

IN MEMORY OF ATHA EDWARD KERR

Friday morning, March 31, the death angel visited the home of H.A. Kerr and 
took away his wife, Atha. It's hard to understand why we have to give up one 
so dear to our hearts, but God knows best and He never makes a mistake, so 
we must be submissive to His holy will. Atha was 42 years old. She joined 
the Cane Creek church at an early age and lived a christian life to the end. 
Her many friends over Cleburne county and surrounding counties will remember 
her as a loyal and true friend and a good neighbor, one that always went to 
see the sick and helped in any way that was possible for her to help.

A place is vacant in her home that cannot be filled, but we feel that heaven 
is made brighter by her presence. Our hope is to meet her again. If we only 
live the life God wants us to live, we can meet one sweet day in a home 
where there are no more separations, sorrows or pains.


Atha leaves to mourn her passing, her husband H.A. Kerr, and six children, 
Mildred, Milton, Adline, Lee Roy, Cathlene and baby Winfred, only five 
months old, all of Cullman county; her mother Mrs. Sarah A. Edwards of 
Fruithurst; and five sisters, Mrs. Noah Connell, Mrs. Johnnie Parker of 
Fruithurst; Mrs. Homer Connell of Ai; Mrs. Leonard Cheatwood of 
Edwardsville; Mrs. Hiram Sides of Peaceburg; three brothers, S.A. Edwards of 
Heflin; B.S. Edwards of Holly Pond; Lee A. Edwards of Mt. Pleasant, Tenn, 
and a host of other relatives.

Her body was laid to rest in Cane Creek church cemetery on April 1, the 
Revs. Ed Day and J.W. Patty officiating. Written by a sister
