DELIA FRANCES BUNN 

   Miss Delia Frances Bunn, age 70 years, died at her home in Newsoms Friday 
afternoon after an illness of several weeks.  She was the daughter of the late 
John Councill and Elizabeth Bunn and is survived by one brother, John N. Bunn 
of Newsoms, and several nieces and nephews.

   She spent her entire life in the town and community.  She was a member of 
Newsoms Methodist Church and until failing health was a faithful attendant at 
its services.  She was a member of the Ladies Bible Class, the Missionary 
Auxiliary and the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union.  "Miss Delia" as she was 
known by her many friends was a woman of unassuming manners.  To know her was 
to love her.

   Funeral services were conducted in the Methodist Church Sunday morning at 
11 o’clock by her pastor, Rev. C.F. Moseley, assisted by Rev. C.P. Cleveland, 
pastor of the Newsoms Baptist Church.  The choir sang "Home of the Soul" and 
"Sweet Bye and Bye."  Mrs. E.J. Coggsdale and Miss Olivia Holloman sang as a 
duet, "The Old Rugged Cross."  "Safe In the Arms of Jesus" was sung at the 
grave.  Active pallbearers were: J.C. Bunn, R.A. Bunn, B.L. Bunn, Gladstone 
Story, H.H. Shaw, Jr., M.H. Ferrell, R.D. Beale, Jr. and H.T. Waff.  Honorary 
pallbearers were friends of the family.
