MR. J. B. SIMS TAKEN BY DEATH FUNERAL HELD TUESDAY

   Mr. J. B. Sims, age 76, died at the home of his brother, Mr. J. A. Sims in 
Comer, Sunday night at 8:00 o'clock, after an illness of two days.
   Mr. Sims, a resident of Gainesville, Fla., had been in failing health for 
the past four years and suffered a heart attack while on a visit to his brother 
this past week.
   Services were held Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock from Mars Hill Church in 
Oconee County, Rev. B. C. Hogan, Pastor of the Church of Christ in Bogart 
officiating.
   Burial was in Mars Hill cemetery with nephews and grandsons of Mr. Sims 
acting as pallbearers.
   In addition to his brother, Mr. J. A. Sims of Comer, Mr. Sims is survived by 
two other brothers, Mr. O. J. Sims of Crawford, and Mr. M. A. Sims, of 
Valdosta; four daughters, Mrs. Susan Crenshaw, Gainesville, Fla.; Mrs. W. L. 
Wilder, Atmore, Ala.; Misses Isabelle Sims and Agnes Sims of Gainesville, 
Fla.; daughter-in-law, Mrs. Gladys Sims, Valdosta; sisters, Mrs. C. N. 
Griffeth, Bogart and Mrs. G. W. Crenshaw, Macon; sister-in-law, Mrs. Katie 
Whitehead, Athens; grandchildren Burke and Eugene Crenshaw, Gainesville, 
Florida, Susie ___ Sims and ___ Sims both of Valdosta, Wallace Wilder, Jr, 
Atmore, Ala., and Orie Bennett Sims, U. S. Army overseas.
   A native of Madison County, Ga., Mr. Sims formerly lived at Comer, but for 
the past twenty-five years had resided at Gainesville, Fla.  He was a member of 
the Church of Christ and a devoted worker in that congregation until failing 
health four years ago curtailed his activities.  Though his health had been 
declining, death of Mr. Sims was unexpected and came as a shock to a large  
number of friends in this section.
