conducted from the residence of his sister, Miss Christine Rawls, in Clay 
Street, Franklin, Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock.  Rev. L.F. Paulette, pastor 
of the Holland Baptist Church and a former pastor of South Quay, conducted the 
services, assisted by Rev. R.D. Stephenson of the Franklin Baptist Church. 
Special numbers were given by members of the Baptist church choir, and the

was a successful farmer, a consistent and loyal member of South Quay Baptist 
Church and clerk of the church.  His illness was of quite a short duration,
