Mr. E.A. Blythe Dies Suddenly

The news of the sudden passing of Mr. Evans Blythe,
Friday evening, August 28th, came as a distinct shock to
his family and many friends.

Our hearts are so heavily weighted with sorrow that has
overwhelmed us in the going of this good man, we cannot
think coherently or fully evaluate his years of loving
living and serving among us.  We know that the influence
of such a life lives on, while he rests from his labors.

Mr. Blythe was a young man of sterling qualities and was
active in his church and business life, until his health
begin to fail, at which time he was forced to give up
both.  Surely, his was a victorious life and he had an
abundance entrance, his going has brought heaven nearer
and while we await that reunion, the highest tribute we
can pay his memory, will be an earnest effort on our part
to measure up to the ideals and examples he set in
Christian service.

Mr. Blythe, was born February 25th, 1896, the son of the
late Mr. and Mrs. Robert Blythe.  Most of his life was
spent in this community, for he was only eleven years of
age when his parents moved here.  He was married on July
7th, 1926, to Miss Minnie Reid of Ellaville, who survives
him.  He is also survived by one brother, Mr. W.A.
Blythe, of Junction City.

Burial was in Junction City Cemetery on Sunday afternoon
at four o'clock, with Rev. Earl Dunn and Rev. H.J.
Fussell officiating.
