Christmas early
for Mrs. Kimbell
Christmas will come exactly a month early for Mrs.
Geneva Kimbell this year.
Her family plans to gather at the home of her son and
daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Prince on Jackson street
Sunday, Nov. 25, for an early Christmas.
Mrs. Kimbell who is 89 years old is scheduled to have
surgery on her hip Dec. 5 at Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta.
The trouble resulted from fractured hips she suffered a
few years ago in falls.
Post-Thanksgiving shopping usually ushers in the
Christmas season here. But the family of Mrs. Kimbell
will have theirs early this year so they can share it
together.

Nov. 22, 1973
In loving memory of Mr.
Walter Thomas Hudgins,
who died Nov. 22, 1970.
When loved ones go ahead
of us
Us hard to say "Good-bye"
And in our grief and sorrow
We are tempted to ask
"Why?"
But they have found the
peace and joy
This world can never give
And in God's heavenly
home, it's they <
Not we, who truly live.
Sadly missed by wife Mrs.
W. T. Hudgins and
children.
