MRS. TURNER'S FUNERAL

The funeral services of Mrs. C. T. Turner, who died in the Baptist Hospital in Alexandria on Friday night, were held in the Baptist Church Sunday at 3 p.m.

The choir sang “Nearer My God To Thee” and Rev. W. C. Tenny, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, led the prayer after the singing of “Come Ye Disconsolate,” by the choir. Rev. W. H. Horton, pastor of the Baptist Church spoke, not attempting to help the one who had gone, but, words of comfort to the bereaved. In the going of Mrs. Turner the community lost one whose influence was for good, the Baptist Church lost a faithful member, the father and mother, three brothers, two sisters, husband and six children, all of whom reside at Oakdale, have lost one whose place cannot be filled.

The Maccabees, of which order Mrs. Turner was a member, were in attendance in a body. The following men from the Masonic lodge acted as pallbearers: R. F. Scott, W. E. Saucier, M. P. Deen, Joe Blount, E. F. Nicholas and J. B. Epps.

The funeral was in charge of Undertaker R. C. Clark, with Oakdale Furniture & Trading Company. Interment in Oakdale Cemetery.
