Victim of Accident is Buried At LaGrange 
Funeral services Over the Body of Eugeen Irvine Held at the Methodist  
Parsonage Sunday P.M. 
Funeral services over the body of Eugene Irvine, who was killed in an  
automobile accident near Experiment Saturday morning, were held at the home of  
his parents, Rev. and Mrs. W. T. Irvine, at the First Methodist parsonage on  
South Hill street Sunday afternoon at four o'clock. 
The services were conducted by Dr. W.L. Pierce, presiding elder of the Griffin  
district, assisted by Rev. D. B. Cantrell, of the Third Methodist church; Rev.  
Nath Thompson, of the Griffin Circuit; Rev. J. E. Sammons, of the First  
Baptist church, and Rev. W. A. Murray, of the First Presbyterian church.  The  
ministers paid beautiful tribute to the memory of the deceased, who was an  
excellent young man and had many friends who were grieved at his untimely  
death. 
The floral offerings were beautiful and abundant and a large concourse of  
sorrowing friends were present to pay their best respects.  It was one of the  
most impressive funerals ever held in Griffin though particularly sad. 
The remains were taken to LaGrange for burial on the train leaving here at  
8:52 Monday morning.  Those accompanying the body to its last resting place  
were Rev. W. T. Irvine, the grief stricken father, Mr. Willard Irvine and Mrs.  
Mrs. Baldwin, brother and sister of the deceased; Dr. W.L. Pierce, M.J.  
Daniel, W.H. Wheaton, B.B. Brown, and Frank Pittman.
