DEATH OF MR. WELCOME PARKS

Mr. Welcome Parks, one of Whitesburg's wealthiest and most prominent 
citizens, died Tuesday night at Wesley Memorial Hospital in Atlanta. He went 
to the hospital about a month ago to be treated for a malignant carbuncle on 
his back and neck but did not get the relief expected. In fact, he grew 
steadily worse and blood poisoning set it, which caused his death. Mr. Parks 
was 59 years of age and one of Carroll county's best citizens.

Only a short while ago he purchased the Hendricks home on Temple avenue and 
it was understood at the time to be his purpose to bring his family to 
Newnan before the end of the year.

He is survived by his wife and two sons, Mr. W.B. Parks of this city and Mr. 
R.P. Parks of Whitesburg. The remains arrived from Atlanta at 3 p.m. 
yesterday and were carried to Oak Hill cemetery for interment, services at 
the grave being conducted by Dr. J.S. Hardaway and Rev. W.J. Cotter.
