John Knox Sewell Passes Suddenly


The Death of Mr. John Knox Sewell at the home in Indian Creek community last 
Saturday evening came as a shock to his hundreds of friends throughout the 
county. He had worked all day in the hot sun and frequently complained of 
pains in the head. It is believed that death was the result of over-heat or a 
sunstroke.
Mr. Sewell was a prominent citizen and well known thought this section. He was 
born and reared in the same community in which he died, and spent his entire 
life in Franklin County. He was in the prime of life, being 43 years old, and 
had seemed in the best of health until only a few hours before his passing.
Mr. Sewell was a true Christian, being a faithful member of the Indian Creek 
church. He was united in wedlock to Miss Pearlie May Whiten 16 years ago. He 
was a devoted husband and father, and made friends with all who knew him. In 
his passing, his church and community have lost a most valuable citizen.
Funeral services were held at Indian Creek church Sunday, July 11th with Rev. 
T. W. Holcomb, officiating. A large concourse of sorrowing relatives and 
friends attended the funeral. Interment was in Indian Creek cemetery.
The deceased is survived by his wife, two daughters, Misses Emma Frances and 
Reba Sewell, one son, Robert Sewell, one sister, Mrs. Trudie McDuffie, one 
half brother, Mr. Clarence Payne, and several other close relatives. Sympathy 
is extended the bereaved family.
Pallbearers were: Diedrich Payne, Newell McDuffie, George McDuffie, Ondie 
Whiten, Clarence Whiten and Mart Whiten.
B. D. Ginn, funeral director, was in charge of arrangements.
