A. G. BARTELS DIED AT HIS HOME IN JENNINGS, SUNDAY

Adolph George Bartels, 54 died Sunday morning at 11 15 at his 
home on East Academy Avenue.

Mr. Bartels had been ill for three weeks, his condition having
been so serious the past eight days that death was expected at 
any time.

Born and reared on Hope Mill plantation, near Abbeville, La ,
the deceased spent his early life in that section.

He was married to Leila Mae Henry of Henry, La., September 25, 
1905, living at Henry for two years.

Mr. and Mrs. Bartels moved to Evangeline in 1907, where they 
resided for 15 years, the deceased being a machinist in the Oil 
Field during this period of time.

For the past ten years they have lived in Jennings.

Mr. Bartels was a member of the Odd Fellow Lodge.

Uniting with the Baptist church ten years ago, the deceased has
been a loyal, consecrated member of that congregation.
Affable and friendly he was liked by everyone, being highly 
esteemed as a citizen and greatly admired as an ideal family 
man. 

He has a host of friends who are deeply grieved at his untimely
passing.

Funeral services were held Monday morning at ten o'clock at the 
Baptist church, Reverend N. B. Wallace officiating.

Basing his message on the 37th verse of the 37th Psalm, "Mark 
the perfect man, and behold the upright; for the end of that man 
is peace," Rev. Wallace amplified the thought with readings from 
the 15th chapter of First Corinthians, these beautiful verses 
including the triumphant statement, "0 death, where is thy 
sting? 0, grave where is thy victory-"

The speaker outlined the ways in which man is made perfect, 
reading freely from the Scriptures as to what makes perfection, 
the three main topics being: Perfection through faith in Christ 
as Savior and Lord; Perfection through obedience, and Perfection 
through the Resurrection.

A quartet consisting of Mr. and Mrs. B. N. Wallace, Mrs. R. F. 
Frey and Mr. W. P. Arnette sang the hymns, "Beautiful River," 
"Safe in the Arms of Jesus " and "Asleep in Jesus." 

Mrs. S. L. Hoag was at the piano. Pall bearers were, Messrs L. 
O. Jackson, Carol Walters, S. L. Hoag, L. L. Lambert, Jeff 
Reddell and J. E. Edwards.

Surviving are, the widow, two daughters, Mrs. James Longman and 
Miss Callie Bartels and two sons, Howell and Shelby Bartels all 
of Jennings.

A brother, Elijah Bartels of Nederland, Texas, and four sisters, 
Mrs. William Morgan, Daisetta, Texas; Mrs. John Morgan, Rayne,
La.; Mrs. Claude Pulhn, Andrew, La.; and Mrs. John Collins, 
Nederland, Texas.
