LINWOOD COOPER

   Linwood Cooper, 36, died at Lakeview Hospital, Suffolk, last Saturday about 
noon following a brief illness.  Mr. Cooper, a native of Franklin, where he 
had lived all his life, is survived by his wife, Mrs. Louise Tyler Cooper and 
their daughter, Mary Louise Cooper; his mother, Mrs. Virginia Daughtrey 
Cooper, wife of the late William Frank Cooper; three sisters, Mrs. E.F. Gray, 
Mrs. L.E. Bassett and Mrs. L.J. Gillette, all of Franklin.

   Linwood was a member of the Franklin Congregational Christian Church, of 
the local lodge, Knights of Pythias, and was a valuable member of the Franklin 
Fire Department.  He had been employed for several years in the plumbing 
department of the W.T. Pace Hardware Co. here.  He was genial and 
accommodating in disposition and his pleasant personality will be missed by 
the many friends he had in Franklin.

   Services were conducted from the home of Mr. and Mrs. E.F. Gray in 
Street Monday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock by his pastor, Dr. Elwood W. Jones and 
the Rev. R.D. Stephenson of Franklin Baptist Church.  The choir of the 
Christian Church sang "Face to Face" and "It Is Well with My Soul."  At the 
grave in Poplar Spring Cemetery Rev. Mr. Stephenson read Tennyson’s "Crossing 
the Bar."  Pallbearers were J.R. Howell, Ernest Evans, D.R. Butler, Jr., J.J. 
Pace, Herman Beale, Gordon Bridgers, Marvin Beale of Suffolk and Rufus Futrell 
of Portsmouth.  Honorary pallbearers were members of the Franklin Fire 
Department.
