M.F. DEVANE DIES UNEXPECTEDLY MONDAY
Funeral services were held at Hopewell Methodist church Wednesday afternoon 
for M.F. DeVane, 67, well-known Schley county farmer who died suddenly here 
Monday night about 11 o'clock while waiting at the railroad station to 
accompany his wife to the bedside of their daughter, who was ill in 
Jacksonville, Fla.  Having already purchased tickets, the couple was sitting 
in the car with their son, H.D. DeVane, when Mr. DeVane was seized.  He died 
before medical aid could be summoned.  Mr. DeVane apparently had been in good 
health and had gone fishing during the afternoon.  The Rev. Roy J. Bond 
conducted the funeral and was assisted by the Rev. Hugh Dozier.  Burial was in 
the church cemetery.  Born in Schley county, April 11, 1874, he was the son of 
the late Frank and Polly Wall DeVane and had lived his entire life in the 
county.  In early youth he united with Hopewell Methodist church.  Having 
always lived a quiet and peaceful life, Mr. DeVane was loved and admired by 
all who knew him.  Surviving besides his widow, the former Miss Mary Ella 
Poole, whom he married December 2, 1900, are two daughters, Mrs. W.H. Oliver, 
Ellaville, and Mrs. Felton Bray, St. Augustine, Fla., three sons, H.D. DeVane, 
Ellaville, and E.W. and Lester DeVane, both of St. Augustine; 14 
grandchildren; two brothers and one sister, besides a number of nieces and 
nephews.  Pallbearers were T.H. Stevens, W.T. Tondee, Ben S. Sellars, C.S. 
Wall, C.C. Williamson and Roy McCorkle.
