The Robesonian, October 8, 1931
INTENSE THRONG AT FUNERAL WEDNESDAY – BY J.M. FLEMING

The funeral of Mr. George W. Parnell was held from Singletarys Cross Roads
church yesterday at 2:30 p.m., conducted by the writer in the presence of one of
the largest crowds he quite remembers to have ever seen attendant upon a like
occasion. Standing room was at a premium in the house and many were on the outside.


Mrs. George Sessoms presided at the piano, while the choir sang “Does Jesus
Care” and “There’ll Be No Night There” and “Abide With Me”. Interment was made
in the church cemetery. 

Pallbearers were Messrs. Curly and Henry Pevatto, Hob Roberts, Hughie Wilkins,
C.S. McIntyre, J.B. McArthur. The floral offerings were profuse and beautiful,
being placed by Madams R.L. Collins, George Hargraves, Rufus Goodyear, Miss Ruth
Prevatte, Miss Evans.

He leaves a wife, a son and small daughter, 2 brothers, Henry and Hoke; 4
sisters, Madams M.C. Britt, Lincoln McLean, Emory Kinlaw, Charlie Talton. He was
the eldest son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Will Henry Parnell of Rt. 5 from
Lumberton, Howellsville township.
 
The bereaved have the tenderest sympathies of all our hearts, as do also Mr. and
Mrs. L.P. Carter of Lumberton in the loss of their precious daughter.
