LENA LANDON EDWARDS

   Miss Lena Edwards, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse T. Edwards, of the 
Sycamore community, died very suddenly Monday morning, October the second, 
following a brief illness of Scarlet fever.  Her death was a great shock to her 
family and friends, who believed her condition better than at any time during 
her sickness.

   Miss Edwards was born and reared in the Sycamore community where she was 
loved and esteemed by all who knew her. At an early age she became an active 
member of the Sycamore Baptist Church where her influence and usefulness will 
be an inspiration to those who carry on her work. Her life in her home, church 
and community was characterized by unselfish love and service. Her death will 
be an irreparable loss to her family, friends and community.

   She leaves, besides a host of relatives and friends to mourn their loss her 
parents, Mrs. and Mrs. Jess T. Edwards, two older brothers, Ryland and Claude 
Edwards, and two younger sisters, Georgie and Agnes Edwards.

   Funeral services were conducted at the grave in the Sycamore cemetery Monday 
afternoon at four-thirty o’clock by Rev. C.W. Scarborough and Dr. C.H. Rowland.
