MARY ANN WILKINSON FOLK

   The funeral of Mrs. Mary Wilkinson Folk, wife of Mr. E.L. Folk, whose death 
was announced in last week’s HERALD, took place on Friday morning, March 9, at 
the Main Street Methodist Church, of which she was a devoted member, and was 
largely attended.  Silver Cross Circle of King’s Daughters, to which 
organization the deceased belonged, was present in a body.  Rev. R.H. Potts, 
pastor, conducted the services, assisted by Rev. W.W. Staley, D.D., of the 
Christian church, and Rev. L.E. Barton, of the Baptist church.  In his remarks 
the pastor paid a just tribute to the high Christian character of Mrs. Folk, 
and the whole service was peculiarly appropriate to the sad occasion.

   The interment was made in Cedar Hill Cemetery, the pallbearers being as 
follows: Active - R.R. Allen, Dr. H.W. Campbell, Dr. A.W. Eley, William Eley, 
W.L. McLeod, R.H. Morgan, M.T. Pinner, A. A. Riddick.  Honorary - General L.S. 
Baker, Colonel Thos. W. Smith, A.S. Eley, W.H. Howell.  The floral offerings 
from loving friends and co-workers were numerous and very beautiful.
