Sandy Walker, who had been a deacon at Jerusalem Baptist Church for more than 50
years, died April 8 at 71 years of age. Funeral rites were conducted Saturday,

delivered the principal eulogy, using as his topic,”Be Ye Faithful Until Death.”

were made by members of the church. The choir sang three of his favorite hymns:
“Sweet Hour of Prayer,” “In All My Lord’s Appointed Ways” and “Jerusalem the
Golden.”

members of the church, were: William Nash, John Eggleston, Ben Northington,
