Joseph Elder.

	Joseph Elder, aged 68(?) years, died Monday night at a local infirmary.  
He is survived by his widow, a son, Roy Elder, of Montgomery, and a daughter, 
Mrs. Norman, of Lakeland, Fla.  Funeral services were conducted Tuesday 
afternoon from Shaw & Son's chapel, with the Masons in charge.  Mr. Elder was a 
thirty-second degree Mason and a Knight Templar.  He was originally from New 
York City, and at one time was superintendent of the Rock Island railroad.  He 
lived at Columbus, Miss., before coming to Birmingham a short while ago.  The 
Elder family came South on account of Mrs. Elder's health.
