'Jack' Angle Passes at 67

James Alvan "Jack" Angle, 67, Willow's postmaster since 1944, died last night at Glenn General Hospital.
Death came from a heart attack as he was sitting in bed reading.
Although he had been in poor health in recent years, his condition had not become critical until Monday, when he entered the hospital. Few people knew of his illness and his death shocked the community.
Angle had been postmaster since 1944 when he succeeded the late E.M. "Ed" Seahorn who also was publisher of the Willows Journal.
Angle was a native of Rome, Ga., and attended schools there. He came to Willows more than 40 years ago and opened a stationery store. Later he and Mrs. Angle returned to Rome for several years and then came back here.
He leaves three sisters, Mrs. Edna A. Reese of Coral Gables, Fla., Mrs. R. H. McDaniel of Rome, and another sister in Nashville, Tenn., whose name was not learned. His wife, Dorothy, long time court reporter died last year.
He was a member of the Elks, had seen service in World War I and also was a member of the American Legion.
In the days 25 years ago when Willows had a golf course, Angle was one of the County's best golfers.
The body is at the Sweet & Son Funeral Home. Burial arrangements had not been completed. - Transcribed by E.
