Joint Rites Held For
Mr. and Mrs. Bottoms

  Impressive joint funeral services were conducted Friday afternoon for Mr. 
and Mrs. William A. Bottoms, elderly and well known Pike county couple who 
died within a space of a few hours of each other.
  The double rites were conducted from the Concord Baptist church at 3 
o'clock. Rev. Jack Bridges, pastor of the Zebulon Baptist church, and Rev. C. 
R. Drake, pastor of the Zebulon Methodist church officiated.
  Burial was in the Old Hebron cemetery with Frank S. Pittman, funeral 
director, in charge.  Pallbearers were six grandsons of the deceased couple.
  Mrs. Bottoms, who was 84 years of age, died early Wednesday night at the 
home between Zebulon and Concord.  Her husband, who was 87 years of age, 
followed her in death Thursday morning at 1 o'clock.
  Both were life-long residents of Pike county and had been married for 61 
years.  Mr. Bottoms was a well known farmer.  They were one of the most 
beloved couples in Pike county.
  Surviving them are four sons, John W., Tom, Joe and Madison Bottoms, all of 
Concord; two daughters, Mrs. J. E. Manoe and Mrs. Auzey Mayfield, of Concord; 
16 grandchildren, and five great grandchildren.
