West to pay the last sad tribute of respect to the memory of his wife, Mrs. Mary E. West, who departed this life Wednesday morning. The obsequies were conducted by Rev. M.W. Butler. The following gentlemen acted as pallbearers: Messrs. S.B. Upton, Mack Jones, Alvah Petty, Walter Stevens, J.F. Steele and Willie Martin. The service was very solemn and impressive and it would not be exaggerated to say that there was not one present who did not shed tears. The floral tributes were numerous and handsome and evidenced the high esteem in which the deceased was held by the community, as well as their sympathy for the bereaved husband, parents and brothers. The remains were interred in Magnolia Cemetery.
