AMANDA F. PORTER

   The Capron Baptist Church has suffered an irreparable loss in the death of 
Miss Amanda Porter, who was called to her home not made with hands on October 
22, 1921.

   Miss Amanda was a woman of the highest type of character, and was of 
sterling worth to her church and community.  She was one of the charter 
members of the Baptist Church and a most consistent and consecrated Christian 
woman.  Her influence will love long in the lives of those with whom she 
associated.

   Owing to the illness of her pastor, the funeral services were conducted by 
Rev. M.A. MacLean of the Franklin Baptist Church, and her body was laid to 
rest October 24 in the Capron Cemetery under a mound of beautiful flowers, 
tributes of love from her many loved ones and friends.

   Miss Amanda was 83 years old and was usually active until the last two 
years of her life for one of so many years.  She is survived by a devoted 
sister, Miss Eliza Porter, and a number of nieces and nephews.  We wish to 
extend our deepest sympathy especially to the sister and a devoted niece, Mrs. 
W.R. Smith, who so faithfully and willingly watched over Miss Amanda during 
her last illness.

   The active pallbearers were T.J. Harrell, W.H. Ezelle, B.F. Lamb, W.B. 
Griffin, W.B. Baugham and T.J. Wade; honorary, J.T. Rawls, Parley Baker, J.T. 
Barham, G.B. Smith, J.T. Drake, S.W. Joyner, T.J. Joyner, G.A. Lankford, T.W. 
Story, L.J. Bain and R.B. Warthan.

   Among the out-of-town relatives who were present at the time of her death 
and burial were Mr. and Mrs. A.M. Fleetwood and children of Severn. N.C., Mr. 
and Mrs. Harry Barham, Mrs. Northington and daughter, Miss Vera, of Lacross, 
Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Northington, Messrs, Emmett Osmore and Addis Barham of 
Norfolk.
