E. B. PARKER The community has again been called upon to mourn the passing of a beloved resident. Mrs. Edward Burns Parker passed from this life, at 11 o'clock last Saturday morning in the Knight Sanitorium, where every effort was made to save her life. The remains were taken to her home and lay until three o'clock when taken to the Methodist church for the funeral rites. One of the largest congregation that ever assembled gathered, many coming from distant points. The numerous and handsome floral offerings filled the altar place. Miss ??? Bass, the deceased was born at Wedowee. From girlhood she merged into womanhood and worthily filled her place in the home upon her marriage to Mr. Parker about five years ago. She was a devoted helpmeet....Her short life of twenty-six years was not spent in vain. The light which shines from it will shine to the end of the pathway of those she loved. For love can not dwindle, nor can any influence stop its power set in motion. The darkness of death as it passes over our heads is dispelled and will be chased away by the dawn of eternal morning. E.B. Parker asks the editor of the Leader to express for him his deep sense of apprecation of all that was done and to those near to him who deeply loved the deceased. The many friends of Edward B. Parker will be interested to know that he is fortunate in having his mother Mrs. Roxie Parker of Wedowee, to come and make her home with him and care for his motherless little son who bears the name Earle Burns Parker. This little man will be a great comfort to his father and grandmother. - - - LOCAL News Mrs. J.T. King of Tifton, Georgia is spending this week with her sister Mrs. E.
