MRS. ATKINSON, AGED RESIDENT, DIED LAST NIGHT

	Mrs. Elizabeth Atkinson, 87, one of Brunswick’s oldest and best known 
women, passed away at the family resident, 729 Grant street, last night.  She 
had been ill for about three weeks.
	Mrs. Atkinson was born in Camden county, but had made her home in 
Brunswick for a long number of years.  She was the widow of the late Col. 
Edmund Atkinson, and was a member of a prominent Camden county and south 
Georgia family, being a daughter of the late David and Elizabeth Lang, pioneer 
Camden county residents, who were business and social leaders in that old 
Georgia county for many years.  Both these old south Georgia families played a 
prominent part in the early development of this section, and there are now 
many descendants of both the Lang and Atkinson families in south Georgia and 
elsewhere.
	She was widely known by a large number of friends in Brunswick and 
elsewhere.  IN her earlier days she was active in social and church circles of 
the city, and for years had been a member of the First Methodist Church.
	Mrs. Atkinson is survived by one daughter, Miss Mamie Atkinson, of 
this city.  Ten grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren also survive.
	Funeral services will be held at the First Methodist church at 5 
o’clock this afternoon, conducted by the pastor, the Rev. Chas. M. Meeks, and 
burial will be in the family lot in Oak Grove cemetery.  The following will 
serve as pallbearers:  B.W. Murrah, Jr., I.E. Walters, Alex Atkinson, A.M. 
Cowart, Frank Schopfer, R.O. Clark.  Funeral arrangements are in charge of 
Mortician Edo Miller.
