DUDLEY RANDOLPH WILLS 

   Little Dudley Rudolph Wills, only child of Mrs. and Mrs. J. Dudley Wills, 
was born August 15, 1921, and God took him, an exceptionally friendly and 
attractive child to go and live with Him November 9, 1922.  Rudolph for three 
weeks suffered with a complication of diseases, every attention that love 
could prompt was given him but he too was another flower plucked to adorn its 
place with the angels.  Many hearts will miss his smiling face and childish 
prattle.

   The remains were taken to Rosemont Cemetery on Friday and Rev. J.E. Brooks 
conducted the funeral services with the choir using the appropriate hymns, 
"Safe in the Arms of Jesus," "Sometimes We’ll Understand" and "That Sweet 
Story of Old."  The floral offerings were numerous and beautiful.  Four uncles 
of the deceased were active pallbearers, N.W. and A.O. Wills, F.D. and Felton 
Mitchell.  The honorary pallbearers were members of the Cradle Roll of Grace 
Memorial Church of which Rudolph was a member and the following also served, 
Dr. R.L. Raiford, G.S. Cornwell, W.H. Drewry, R.L. Johnson, R.B. Beale, J.C. 
Wellons and T.F. Hundley.

   With the parents grieve many relatives and friends who largely attended the 
funeral services.
