Interment was made Saturday in the Antioch cemetery being buried beside the grave of his only son, Rev. King, his former pastor, conducted the services.
We extend profound sympathy in their loss, but dear ones weep not, for your loved one is sweetly resting in the love of his Redeemer who said: "Well done thou good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." -Leesville Cor.
