Prominent New Home Woman Dies Saturday
Mrs Addie Cordell, age 66, wife of Sam Cordell, died at the residence, Valley Head, Rt 2, in the New Home community Saturday night following an illness of one week.
She was a native of Marshall County, but had lived in the New Home community practically all her life. She was a member of the New Home Baptist Church.
Mrs Cordell was known for her fine traits of Christian character and was a fine neighbor and friend to all she knew.

Mrs Cordell will be sorely missed, not only in her home community, but over DeKalb and adjoining counties.

Burial will be in adjoining cemetery with Wilson Funeral Hoe in charge. Pall bearers were: Darwin Dixon, Hoyt and Troy Ott, Richard Brown, Alva Clark, Norman Byrd.
