Sunday afternoon at half past three o’clock at the First Baptist church in the 
presence of a large number of sorrowing friends and relatives, The funeral of 
the late Mr. Thomas L. Abney was conducted. 

The floral offerings were many and beautiful, attesting the love and esteem in 
which the dead young man was held in this community.  The services were simple 
and beautiful in the extreme. 

The choir consisting of Miss Ellen Mell, Miss Jessie Jackson, Mrs. C. R. 
Davis, Mr. F. E. Griffith and Prof. Jack Hart, sang as the opening 
hymn “Asleep in Jesus,” after which Dr. Isaac S. Hopkins read the Scripture 
lessons.  The choir then sang “nearer My God to Thee” and Dr. Hopkins offered 
prayer. 

Dr. W.H. Young, pastor of the First Baptist church, preached a sermon of rare 
beauty and impressiveness and after the singing of the hymn, “Abide with Me,”, 
the casket was born to  the hearse.  The interment was in Oconee cemetery.
