She was the relict of the late John Henry Powers, who died about four years ago at the age of 75 years. On Tuesday afternoon, with her nephew Mr. W.P. Barker of Lumberton, Mrs. Powers drove over to Ten Mile, a distance of about 4 miles, and back, reaching home a short while before sundown. The funeral will take place this morning from the home and will be conducted by Rev. A.J. Groves of Barker’s, pastor of the deceased, and interment will be made in the family cemetery at Powersville. Deceased is survived by two sons, Mr. W.J. Powers and Mr. J.H. Powers, both of Powersville.
