West Pike Clippings

Our community has been made sad the past week by the
death of Jacob Riley Turner on the 9th inst., after a
short illness of pneumonia. He was among our oldest and
best citizens, being 76 years of age at the time of his
death. He was a consistent member of the Baptist church
for 48 years, uniting with the Christian church about 4
years ago at Pedenville in which he continued to live a
devoted and consistent member. The funeral services were
conducted from the Methodist church at Concord on Tuesday
by Rev. D.A. Brindle, of Hollonville. His remains were
interred in Old Hebron cemetery in the presence of a
large number of friends and relatives. He leaves a wife
and three children, J.R., H.M., and R.J. Turner and many
relatives and friends to mourn his death. Let us weep
not, dear friends, for our loss is his gain.
