The funeral services were held at the Laflin cemetery Wednesday afternoon conducted by the Rev. Abner of Oakridge. He was a member of the Missionary Baptist church and was well respected by his friends and neighbors and all who knew him. He leaves his wife and two children, his mother, four brothers and two sisters to mourn their loss. Mrs. Mitchell's father, Mr. Monroe Anderson, son and daughter, and Clarence Mitchell from Fairfield, Texas, arrived Wednesday evening, but too late for the funeral. After her sale Tuesday, Mrs. Mitchell and children will return to Texas, with her father to make their home."
