C. Faircloth as written in "The Camilla Enterprise" dated 15 Jun 1934. B. C. Faircloth, fifteen year old son of Mr. and Mrs. E. V. Faircloth died at the home of his parents in Pleasant Hill community on Sunday, 10 Jun 1934, at 5:30 PM after an illness of two weeks form complications developing after measles. B. C. was a popular member of the eighth grade in Camilla High School and had numbers of friends both young and old, who were shocked by his sudden and untimely death. He was a healthy, happy boy up to the time of his last illness and no one thought of his illness proving fatal. He was the youngest son of his parents and had spent his entire life at their present home. He had attended Pleasant Hill Baptist Church from earliest childhood and had united with the church on profession of his Christian faith. His death came as a double blow to his parents, who had to give up an older son, Hoggard Faircloth, who died suddenly on December 13, less than six moths before. Funeral services took place Tuesday, 13 Jun 1934, at 11:00 AM at Pleasant Hill Church, where the little boy had attended services all of his life. Rev S. H. Bennett, pastor of Camilla Baptist church, conducted the service. A group of schoolboy friends acting as pallbearers were Jack Swilley, Cecil Palmer, Winston Faircloth, Mercer Stevens, James Smith, Ben Marshall Jr., Harris Bailey and Joel Rivers. A group of girls, all cousins of the deceased, who carried flowers, were Misses Lucy Williams, Betty Williams, Juanita Faircloth, Vernice Williams, Louise Davis, Ermine Palmer, Doris Peacock, Virginia Collins, Ruby Rigsby and Lucille Bennett. Interment was in Pleasant Hill Cemetery. Mr. J. R. Bramlett of Camilla Hardware & Implement Co. was in charge. B. C. is survived by his parents, Mr. & Mrs. E. V. Faircloth, three brothers, Albert Faircloth of Camilla; Jack Faircloth of Winter Haven, Fla.; Judson Faircloth of Perry Fla., and five sisters, Mrs. S. L. Palmer, Mrs. A. T. Rigsby, Miss Annie Ruth Faircloth, Miss Virginia Faircloth, all of Camilla, and Mrs. Robert Wright of Madisonville, Ky.
