   Funeral services were conducted at the grave Sunday, June 1, at 3 o'clock 
in Riverside Cemetery by her pastor, Rev. W.W. Beasley, assisted by Rev. John 
Isom of the Baptist Church.  The hymns, "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere," "Safe 
In The Arms of Jesus" and "In The Sweet Bye and Bye" were sung during the 
service.  There were many floral tributes and a large gathering of relatives 
and friends.  Pallbearers were Roger and Ray Fuller, Larry, Eddie, Robert,
