  Mrs. G. B. Sawyer died Saturday night at 10:00 o'clock at the home of her 
daughter, Mrs. C. B. Davis, in Panama City, Fla., following an illness of 
several months.  She had just recently gone to Panama City to visit Mrs. Davis 
when her condition worsened and the end came.  Her body was brought back to her 
home in Mitchell County and funeral services were held Monday morning, April 
18, at Hopeful Baptist Church.  The pastor, Rev. Rittenhouse, officiated.  The 
Branchville choir sang such comforting hymns as Be Thou Near and The Christians 
Goodnight.  Grandsons of Mrs. Sawyer serving as pallbearers were Harry, 
Clarence, Norman, Gerald and Weyman Sawyer and Bill Davis.  Interment was in 
the family plot in the church cemetery.  Bramlett Funeral Home of Camilla was 
in charge of arrangements.  Mrs. Sawyer, the former Miss Lenora June Hays, was 
the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Dwight Hays.  She was born June 
21, 1873, being 82 years of age when death came.  In 1892 she was married to 
the late Green Byron Sawyer who preceded her in death a short time ago.  They 
established a hospitable Christian  home where they reared a large family of 
children.  They had rounded out around sixty years of happy married life when 
Mr. Sawyer died in February.  Mrs. Sawyer was a lifetime member of Hopeful 
Baptist Church and lived a life of inspiration to others.  Surviving are her 
four daughters, Mrs. C. B. Davis and Mrs. Wanda Wolfe of Panama City, Fla., 
Mrs. Cecil Bullard of Newton, Mrs. Mary Crosby of Camilla; five sons, B. L. 
Sawyer of Sylvester, Lemuel Sawyer of Charing, F. G. Sawyer of Lakeland; B. E.
