"In Memoriam

Mr. H. C. Surrency departed this life, Dec. 1, 1920.

Mr. Surrency was killed by a locomotive while walking through the railway 
yards at Plant City, where he was visiting at the home of his son, Mr. Lee 
Surrency.

Mr. Surrency was 76 years of age, was born in the state of Georgia, but spent 
the greater part of his life in Bradford county, where he was well known and 
esteemed as a good man, a faithful member of the Free Will Baptist church and 
a staunch Mason.

His tragic death was a great shock to his relatives and his many friends here 
and at Plant City.  His remains were brought to Brooker and carried to the 
home of Mrs. P. M. Barefoot, his daughter, with whom he made his home for many 
years.

Rev. E. B. Joyner conducted the funeral services, after which the Masons took 
charge and used the beautiful Masonic service.

All of Mr. Surrency's children were present at the funeral, except one 
daughter, Mrs. T. B. Parker, who lives at Hopkins, Mich.

A large concourse of people were present at the house and the cemetary and the 
floral offerings were beautiful.  The United Daughters of the Confederacy sent 
a beautiful wreath and friends at Plant City sent flowers, besides the many 
from Brooker.  

The intermet was made at Dedan."
