Obituary of John Stokes Joiner 
as written in "The Camilla Enterprise" dated 27 Feb 1925.  


A death causing sadness among friends all over the county was that of Mr. 
John S. Joiner, which occurred at his home in Branchville community on Monday, 23 
Feb 1925, afternoon at 3:00 PM.  Mr. Joiner had only been sick a few days when he 
developed pneumonia and passed away before many of his friends had learned that he 
was sick and a grievous shock was experienced at the news of his death.  Funeral services 
were held at Branchville church Tuesday, 24 Feb 1925, afternoon at 2:00 PM in the 
presence of sorrowing relatives and friends of the deceased.  Rev L. E. Pierce, pastor of 
the church, conducted the service, after which the body was laid to rest in the family lot 
in the church yard.  Mr. Joiner was about seventy two years of age when his earthly life 
came to an end.  He was born and reared in the community of Branchville and had lived 
out his days quietly in the vicinity of his birth.  He was a man of many splendid qualities 
and was generally loved and depended on as a man of genuine goodness.  For twenty 
years or more he had been a faithful and consistent member of the Methodist church and 
always took a large interest in church affairs.  His community has lost a good and 
enduring man, who stood the test of long years, and his loss is deeply mourned.  The 
deceased is survived by his wife and the following children: Mrs. Ida Cross, Mrs. Force 
Hayes and Messrs. Eddie Randolph, Charlie and Robert Joiner, all of this county, and 
Miss Johnnie Joiner of Albany.  The bereaved family have the sympathy of their 
numerous friends throughout the county in their hour of sorrow.
