L.J. LEAVY SR. IS LAID TO REST--CITIZENS ATTENDED BY MANY FRIENDS CONFEDERATE 
VETERANS PAY TRIBUTE

	Funeral services for the late L.J. Leavy, Sr., were held yesterday 
afternoon from the residence, 510 Howe street, and a large number of friends 
of the deceased were present to pay their last tribute of love and esteem to 
one whom they had known and appreciated in life.
	The death of Mr. Leavy cast a gloom over Brunswick for he had spent 
many years here and was held in the highest esteem in all circles.  He was a 
loyal and devoted husband and an affectionate father and a sterling citizen.
	The services at the home yesterday afternoon were simple yet 
exceedingly impressive.  Seventeen members of Camp Jackson Confederate 
Veterans, in command of Capt. Frank Harris, were present to pay their last 
tribute to their comrade who one of [sic] the most enthusiastic members of 
that organization.  The flower-laden casket was borne between the files of the 
heroes in gray and passed under the folds of the flag of the Confederacy a 
flag beneath which the dead soldier-citizen had fought and which he had loved 
so well.
	The services were conducted by Rev. William Johnson, rector of St. 
Mark's Episcopal church and were deeply impressive.  At the conclusion of the 
service, Miss Sadie Dart sang in exquisite voice, "Our Father Knows."
	The casket was borne from the house by life long friends of Mr. Leavy, 
Messrs. Robert Pyles, Edwin Dart, Lee Robinson, D.W. Krauss, Judge Alfred 
Crovatt and A.O. Anderson, and the funeral cortege headed by Confederate 
Veterans moved out to Palmetto cemetery.
	As the evening shadows fell, all that mortal of Louis J. Leavy, was 
laid, amid tears and flowers, to its eternal rest.
