ROXANNA WORRELL WORRELL

   Mrs. Roxanna Worrell, age 76, a well known resident of the Handsom 
community, died suddenly last Friday morning while en route to Raiford 
Hospital here.

   She was the daughter of the late Elias and Irene Ferguson Worrell*, 
being reared at Newsoms.  Her husband, John Bernard* Worrell, died in 
1918.  Surviving are a daughter, Mrs. B.A. Porter; two sons, John R. 
and Elias Worrell, all of Handsom; two granddaughter, Miss Mary Virginia 
Worrell of Norfolk and Miss Elizabeth Worrell of Portsmouth; a brother, 
Albert Worrell of Canada, and a number of nieces and nephews in this section.

   Funeral services were conducted from Mt. Horeb Methodist Church last 
Saturday afternoon by her pastor the Rev. F.L. Baker.  The church choir 
sang "How Firm a Foundation," "Rock of Ages" and "Jesus Lover of My Soul." 
Burial was in the family plot in Newsoms Cemetery.  Pallbearers were Ben and 
Millard Rountree, Charlie Whitfield, Tommy Cunningham, Sterling Bryant, 
Arthur Whitehead, Walter Bishop and Jack Stephenson.  Honorary bearers were 
the older men of Mt. Horeb congregation.

   The casket was covered with a pall of white carnations and ferns.  Other 
beautiful designs were a token of the love and esteem in which Mrs. Worrell 
was held by family and friends.  Quiet and unassuming she was ever faithful 
to her family and neighbors. - Communicated.
