Obituary:
The funeral services over the remains of the late Mr. R. B. Biggers was held Monday afternoon at the First Baptist Church. The large auditorium of this church was entirely filled with friends of this good man, showing the high esteem in which he was held by our people. The service was conducted by Rev. G. A. Martin, Mr. Biggers' pastor, and Rev. G. V. Tilley of Statesville, a former pastor. Both pastors spoke in the highest terms of Mr. Biggers, referring specially to his life as a citizen, a patriot, a friend and as a Christian. The words of Mr. Tilley, who was Mr. Biggers close friend for more than four years, might have seemed extravagant to those who did not know the deceased intimately, but to those who knew him closely they were words of truth and not a whit overdrawn.
The choir sang several appropriate selections, and after the impressive services at the church the body was laid to rest in Oakwood cemetery.
