MR THOMAS  P OLIVER 	

	LAID TO REST 


Funeral Services Were Held 
	Sunday Afternoon at 
		The Residence 


The funeral of Mr. Thomas P. Oliver was held at his late residence on 
Nantahala avenue Sunday afternoon at four o’clock in the presence of a large 
number of sorrowing friends.  So large a number attended the funeral that at 
least two hundred men were outside the house during the services. 

From many friends came lovely floral tributes that attested the love and 
esteem in which the deceased was held.  The mayor and council of Athens and 
the county officers attended in a body, while the members of Mr. Vernon Lodge 
of Masons were present to officiate with the last sad rites of the order of 
which the deceased was a most faithful member. 

The services at the residence were very simple, the songs being omitted on 
account of the illness of Mrs. Oliver.  Rev. L. G. Johnson, pastor of the 
First Methodist church, of which Mr. Oliver had long been a member read the 
Scriptures, offered a prayer and made a beautiful talk to those present. 

At the grave in Oconee Cemetery the Masonic rites were conducted by Worshipful 
Mater Palmer, and the members of the lodge.
