Donehoo, assisted by Dr. J. A. Thomas. The Masons had charge of the service at the grave. Mr. Walters had long been a prominent and beloved citizen of Montezuma. He had served for forty five years as chief of police. He was seventy five years of age at the time of his death.

Quarterman of Valdosta, Mrs. Frank McDonald of Waycross, Mrs. Bennett Arnold of Montezuma and Mrs. J. R. Adams of Camilla.
