Notes
Death
Mrs. Frank Furr died at her home on May 29. She had been a sufferer from blood poison in various ways, and was troubled by other ailments for many years. Until one week before her death she was in her usual health, and death was caused by paralysis. She had been a widow for 37 years. Her husband was buried the Endy cemetery, but the family moved him to the church and they were both buried in the same tomb. The funeral was held at Liberty Hill on Thursday, Elders Jason Eudy and Ben Treec conducting the services. Mrs. Furr was not a member of the church, but we feel sure she is one among the Blessed. The pall bearers were: Bert Coble, David Gilbert, Cranford Whitley, Reece Barbee, Lonnie Smith and Claud Crisco, all members of her family. The wreath-bearers were Jennie Eudy, Ida and Edna Berbee, Florence and Macie Little, Emma Whitley, Kermot Smith, Brandis Whitley, Elizabeth Hatley, Numa Smith, Arzealie Whitley, Matha Huneycutt, Myrtle Whitley and Lullian Barbee.Stanly News and Press, Albemarle, North Carolina, June 8, 1928
