Beale of the Courtland community; three sisters, Mrs. M.B. Edwards of 
Richmond, Mrs. Annie O’berry of Newsoms and Mrs. Lizzie Porter of Handsom, 
besides many friends.

   Funeral services were conducted from the residence Thursday afternoon at 4 
o’clock by his Pastor, Rev. Roscoe Jones of High Street M.E. Church, assisted 
by Dr. Elwood W. Jones of the Congregational Christian Church.  Burial 
services were held at Poplar Spring Cemetery, the rites of the Pythian order 
being observed at the grave.  Mr. Beale was a member of High Street M.E.
