Giddens Funeral Held at Cat Creek
Services Conducted by His Pastor, Elder Duncan McCranie.
	Nashville, Dec. 4. – Funeral services for Mr. John J. Giddens who died 
in this city at five o’clock p.m., were conducted by his pastor, Elder Duncan 
McCranie, assisted by Elder J.B. Luke, at Cat Creek church in Lowndes county 
yesterday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock and interment was in the cemetery at that 
place alongside others of his relatives formerly buried there.  A large 
concourse of relatives, friends and acquaintances were in attendance to pay 
their respects and attend the last sad rites at the interment of a well-known 
and beloved citizen of our city and county whose passing causes a pang of 
sorrow to many hearts.
	Mr. Giddens is survived by his wife who was before her marriage to Mr. 
Giddens, Miss Ada Swindle, and his children as follows:  Murray, Wilson and 
Mrs. Nautha Belle Preston.  Another daughter, Jewel, preceded her father to 
the grave about three weeks.  One brother, Mr. James Giddens of Valdosta, 
survives.
	Mr. Giddens was born in the Cat Creek vicinity of Lowndes County, a 
son of Silas and Mary Jane Giddens, but being orphaned by the death of his 
parents at an early age, he was employed in various capacities, chiefly as a 
laborer, until his manhood was reached, when he was married and soon after 
came to Nashville where he has been engaged in the mercantile business 
practically ever since, the principal part of the time in partnership with Mr. 
Z.R. Connell.
