LEILA CADE Occurred In Atlanta On Saturday With shocking suddenness the news was borne to Roanoke last Saturday that Mrs. Leila Shanks Cade had died in Atlanta, following an operation performed Tuesday in a hospital in that city. Few friends here knew that she had gone on such a mission, being accompanied by her sisters Mrs. Thelma Rorke and Miss Floris Shanks. Being at her work only a few days before and in her prime, no one was prepared for the premature departure of this modest, gentle, patient, loyal and loving soul. Her worth was best known and appreciated in the family circle of her original home, whence she returned after the death of her husband several years ago, and in the business office where she was employed and where she rendered service that was highly efficient and greatly appreciated. Her business associates in the office of the W.A. Handley Manufacturing Company, upon learning of her serious condition, rendered every aid possible and these efforts, with those of many other friends and neighbors, did not cease until the last loving deed was done and the frail form of the devoted daughter, sister, friend, had been laid to rest. The funeral services were conducted from the First Baptist church, this city, where the deceased held her membership, at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon in the presence of many sympathetic friends. The office force and head workers of the cotton mill company were active and honorary pall bearers. One of the handsomest of the many pretty floral designs was from the organization in whose employ she was until her death. The services were in charge of Rev. J.W. Rucker, in the absence of the pastor. Rev. A.P. Hodges offered the opening prayer. Sweet music was rendered by the organist and a select choir. Dr. Rucker spoke beautiful and comforting words. Then the body was borne to the family lot in the city cemetery. Much sympathy is felt for the family that is called to suffer its fourth bereavement within the past decade, two children and two sons-in-law having been called away. ---- CARD OF THANKS We are deeply grateful. Again we have been made the recipients of the unlimited kindness and sympathy of our neighbors and friends in Roanoke as the hand of death has reached into our home and taken away one so beloved, our daughter and sister, Mrs. Leila Cade. These all have helped to make a little lighter our burden of grief and we can but feebly express our appreciation. Included among the number are those for whom and with whom she worked, the doctors who came unbidden to us, and those who brought comfort to our hearts through words of tenderness and in beautiful tributes of flowers. Our debt, it seems to us, is greater than that of any one else and we can only pray Heaven's blessing and recompense for the kindness received. Mr. and Mrs. J.T. Shanks and family - - - LOCAL News Mrs. J.H.
