GENEVA INEZ GERTRUDE COBB JOYNER 

   Inez Cobb Joyner, daughter of the late Leonard C. and Mary C. Cobb, was 
born November 19, 1866, near Vicksville, and died October 3, 1922, at her 
home near Sedley.  She was converted when seven years of age and united 
with Trinity M.E. Church in 1873.  On September 30, 1918 her membership was 
transferred to Grace Memorial M.E. Church.  September 11, 1910 she was 
married to Hurley R. Joyner and since that date has lived in this community, 
her childhood home.

   She leaves a devoted husband whose grief is doubled in that the death of 
his mother occurred only three months ago; a father-in-law, J.F. Joyner, one 
brother, W.R.L. Cobb, of Sebrell, and a sister, Mrs. Philip Brittle of Ivor, 
besides a host of relatives and friends.

   The home has lost a soul possessing all of the finer qualities of 
Christianity, her church a true communicant, always rendering services, and 
who will long be remembered as a most efficient teacher of the Ladies’ Bible 
Class.  To the bereaved ones the consciousness of the influence of such a 
life as hers will ever be a benediction.

   The funeral services were conducted at the grave on the family lot in 
Rosemont Cemetery by her pastor, Rev. J.E. Brooks, assisted by Rev. W.B. 
Fuller and Rev. Nathan Pickett and three hymns were used, "Shall We Meet?" 
"Jesus Lover of My Soul" and "Nearer My God to Thee."  Among the beautiful 
floral designs was a blanket of fall flowers from her church.  The pallbearers 
were G.S. Cornwell, J.W. Turner, R.C. Williams, H.G. Ford, H.R. Williams and 
J.E. Butler.
