GERALD MACIL BOWLES

   Gerald Macil Bowles, age 4 months, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Bowles, 
died early Saturday morning at the home of his parents in the Euphradian 
Apartments.  Since birth he had been sickly and delicate and his death 
was due to heart trouble.  It has been erroneously stated in other papers 
that he smothered in his crib but the family wishes to correct that 
statement here.  Besides his parents he is survived by one little sister, 
Jacquelin, both maternal and paternal grandparents and a number of aunts 
and uncles.  Funeral services were conducted at the residence Sunday 
afternoon by Rev. R.D. Stephenson.  Members of the Methodist Church choir 
sang "Does Jesus Care" and "Safe in the Arms of Jesus."  Burial was in the 
Bowles family cemetery near Sunbeam.  The active pallbearers were: Franklin 
Whitfield, Warren Kitchen, Lewis Gillette and Albert Vaughan.
