J. C. Loyless Dies Of Injuries Received In Fall


Death came at 1:30 o'clock Saturday morning to John
Chesterfield Loyless, native Early countian and
prominent in business and political circles for many
years.


Mr. Loyless died at a local hospital from
complications following an accidental fall sustained
nine days previously in which he was seriously
injured.


Mr.. Loyless was a native and life-long resident of
Early county and was born September 21, 1874, hence
was 73 years of age. He was a former tax collector of
this county, having served in that capacity for twenty
years.  He was also formerly a justice of the peace
and member of the Blakely city council. At the time of
his passing he was in the retail grocery business.  He
was a member of the Langston Methodist church and
Magnolia Lodge No. 86 F & A. M. He enjoyed a wide
acquaintance and knew as many Early countians as
perhaps any other man of his time.  The many friends
made throughout the years received the news of his
passing with deep regret.


Funeral services for Mr. Loyless were held at his
residence on Powell avenue Sunday afternoon at three
o'clock, with the Rev. W. V. Dibble officiating,
assisted by the Rev. W. E. Storey, and the Minter
Funeral Home in charge. After the service at the home,
his body was interred in the city cemetery with the
impressive Masonic ceremony.  Pall-bearers were J. E.
Houston, C. M. Dunning, J. T. Jordan, W. C. Jordan, W.
H. Ivey, and H. B. Fulmer, all past masters of
Magnolia Lodge.  J. G. Standifer acted as worshipful
master.


Surviving Mr. Loyless are four brothers, Joe Loyless
and Vance Loyless of Miami, Fla., J. G. Loyless of
Blakely, and E. M. Loyless of East Point; two sisters,
Mrs. D. M. Pearl of Blakely and Mrs. Carl Lanier of
Damascus; four sons, Curtis H., J. C., Jr., and P. E.
(Bill) Loyless of Blakely, and Jesse Loyless of
Donalsonville; and three daughters, Mrs. J. E. Jarrett
of Bluffton, Mrs. Donald E. Julian of Albany, and Miss
Bessie Loyless of Blakely.  A number of grandchildren
also survive.
