In Memoriam

There passed away at Geneva, Ga. On Saturday, May 21st, a man who numbered his 
friends by the score in two states.  He bound them to him through the warmth 
and generosity of his nature.

To the needy and helpless his heart and hand was ever open.

Honest, just and generous, Bat Ingram left the only heritage worthwhile, the 
memory of great kindness.

To his friends, no task was too heavy, no work to onerous and no favor too 
large to grant.

His unselfish devotion, his readiness to sacrifice his own time and pleasure 
entitled him to wear the princely motto, “I serve”.  His manners were so 
agreeable, his courtesy so uniform, his friendship so constant and his 
fidelity so unfailing, that he won the esteem and good will of all with whom 
he came in contact.

In him, were so many characteristics which attract and hold friends; so much 
of brightness, a loving kindness and sweetness of disposition.

Although he never married, his home was the mecca for many friends and loved 
ones.  No one understood the gentle art of hospitality better than he.  
Sunshine and happiness were dispensed with courtly grace.

Association with him was a pleasure because the mellowing and gladdening 
influence of his geniality.

His passing falls heaviest upon his sisters.  To them, his devotion, affection 
and tender consideration will ever be a sweet and all pervading fragrance.  
May this memory soften their grief and bring comfort to their hearts.

Rest to his generous, lovable manly soul.

He was our friend; we loved him and would that he could come back from the 
land of silence.
