Guy Mack Atkins, seven year old son of Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Atkins of Kenneth, (Kennett) Missouri, died last Saturday at 12:30 noon after a six weeks fight against meningitis. Funeral services were held at the McKenzie cemetery Sunday afternoon with Rev. E. L. Robinson, of Humboldt officiating, assisted by Rev. E. W. Crump of the local Methodist church.
The youth was stricken with the disease some six weeks and on August 28th was taken to as hospital where everything possible was done to cure him. The case drew a great deal of interest in the Memphis section. Blood transfusions were given by Curtis Moody, Jr., a Mr. Hamilton of the CCC camp and Mr. Roe Alexander, all but to no avail and after being on the road to recovery and having several relapses he finally succumbed last Saturday at noon.
The survivors: his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Atkins, a brother, Andrew Lee Atkins, and his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Guy Alexander and Mrs. Cappie Atkins, are greatly saddened over their severe loss, as well as their many friends.
The Penick Brothers hearse brought the remains to McKenzie and Mr. and Mrs. Roe Alexander and Mrs. J. W. Atkins accompanied them here.
The sympathy of the entire community goes out to the Alexander and Atkins families in this their hour of great loss. Mr. and Mrs. Atkins were active workers in the Methodist church here when this was their residence.
