ADA ANN CHARLES JOYNER 

   Mrs. Ada Ann Joyner, wife of J.B. Joyner, died at her home in Burdette 
January 20 in her 71st year following an illness of about two weeks.  Mrs. 
Joyner was the daughter of the late Edward Thomas and Mrs. Mary Helen Charles 
of this county, and on February 22, 1885 was married to J.B. Joyner.

   In early childhood she joined the church and was a charter member of 
Burdette Baptist Church where she was active and faithful until the time of 
her death.

   She is survived by her husband; two daughters, Mrs. L.M. Raiford and Mrs. 
W.A. Talley of Burdette, one sister, Mrs. Lula Rose of Burdette; two brothers, 
E.L. Charles of Portsmouth, J.A. Charles of Norfolk and 14 grandchildren.

   The funeral services were conducted from Burdette Baptist Church by her 
Pastor, Rev. W.B. Denson, assisted by Rev. R.P. Welch of Black Creek.  The 
large number of sorrowing friends who attended the burial and the beautiful 
floral offerings attested to the love and esteem in which she was held.  Hymns 
sung included her favorites, "What a Friend We Have in Jesus," "Abide with Me" 
and "Safe in the Arms of Jesus."  Mrs. L.E. Beale sang, "Will My Dreams Come 
True?"  The body bearers were: L.M. Raiford, W.A. Talley, O.L. Joyner, J.T. 
Pond, J.S. Drewry, E.H. Beaton, J.H. Spivey and A.M. Bradshaw.
