DARDEN MYRTLE MUSING November 7 - Mr. Robert D. Darden died at his home, near here, Sunday, November 5. He had been in declining health for quite awhile, but did not take his bed until about three weeks ago with Bright’s disease, which preyed upon his system very rapidly until the end came. He had been a consistent member of Western Branch Church a number of years. He leaves to mourn their loss a devoted wife, two daughters, Misses Annie and Otelia, one son, Mr. Leonard Darden. His funeral was conducted Tuesday at 2 p.m. by his pastor Rev. C.P. Ryland, from Western Branch church and his remains laid to rest in the family burying ground at Mr. W.J. Simmons. Messrs. W.T. Simmons, P.S. Powell, Frank Rogers, Hardy and Moses Darden and J. Avis, relatives, acted as pall-bearers. [Robert D.
