Beloved Athenian Dies
After Short lliness; Ar
rangements Incomplete
Rev. Charles H. Edwards died
in a local hospital this afternoon
at 1:15 o'clock after a short ill
ness. ‘Rev. Edwards entered the
hospital yesterday morning after
suffering a heart attack the might
before at his residence, 159 Wiest
Dougherty street.
Funeral arrangements have not
been completed and will be an
nounced later by Bernstein Funeral
Home.
Among the survivors are a broth
er, L. F. Edwards, Atkens, a bro
ther in Cleveland, Ga., a niece at
Helen, Ga., and a nephew, Fulton
Edwards of Jackson, Miss, who
paid Rev. Edwards a visit last
Sunday.
Though he had been in failing
health for some time, Rev. Edw
ards, who had retired from the
active ministry, had continued his
work with the Georgia Power coms
pany, until he became ill.
A graduate of the Southern Bap
tist Theological Institute in Louls
ville, Ky., Rev. Edwardg served
the church for many years. For
the past ten years he had been the
efficient secretary of the North
east Georgia Ministerial conference
and one of its best members.
Mr. Edwards’ chief interest was
in hig church. He was a faithfu!
member of the First Baptist church
here and rarely missed a service,
As an officer of the Northeast
(Georgia Ministerial association he
was keenly interested in broaden
ing the influence of the ministry
in this section and was largely
instrumental in carrying out the
aims of that organization.
His gentle manner, sympathetic
understanding and consideration of
others endeared him to a large
number of friends, and his place
will be difficult to fill.
