LAID TO REST 

The funeral of Mrs. Bessie Collins Yesterday 


Yesterday afternoon quite a number of friends and relatives gathered at the 
Presbyterian church to attend the funeral of Mrs. Bessie Collins. 

The casket was borne forward to the chancel by Messrs. A. H. Hodgson, E. I. 
Smith, J. C. Hutchins, H.H. Linton, T. P. Vincent and W. C. Orr, as the solemn 
strains of the organ pealed forth the notes of that divine hymn, “Some Sweet 
Day.” 

The hymn, “Sat at Home,” was then sung to the tune of “Suwanee River,” and Dr. 
W. E. Boggs read a lesson from the XV chapter of 1st Corinthians.  The choir 
then sang “Rest for the Weary,” after which Dr. Boggs offered up a fervent 
prayer. 

After reading a lesson from the 12th chapter of Hebrews, Dr. Boggs made a few 
very appropriate remarks concerning the Christian experience of the deceased.  
The choir then sang “Nearer My God to Thee.” 

As the recessional hymn, “Asleep in Jesus” was sung by the choir, the casket 
was born to the hearse and the funeral cortege proceeded to Oconee cemetery 
where the remains of Mrs. Collins were tenderly and lovingly laid to rest.
