Porterdale ’s Beloved Mr. Elkins
Observes His 82nd Birthday
PORTERDALE—"It’s another
RED LETTER DAY in my life,”
spoke C. J. Elkins with deep
and happy emotions on Sunday,
June 12, when his relatives and
special guests met at his home
to celebrate his 82nd birthday
on June 14, his and the late
Mrs. Elkins’ anniversary, and
an early Father’s Day. Using
the notes which he had made
in order not to omit anything
Mr. Elkins signally noted the
guests, reminded the family of
their close ties and fellowship,
and recalled the memories of
other occasions when family
members now deceased, had
been present with the group. He
expressed special appreciation to
his children nearby who "take
such good care of me” as he
said it.
Everything about his home and
spacious yard was in readiness,
and all because he, himself, had
planted and tended the beautiful
garden, mowed the lawn, baked
one of his favorite pound cakes,
invited the guests he wanted to
share with him, and hoped God
would send a beautiful sunny day.
He even provided a minister as
guest at the Porterdale Baptist
Church by having a cousin, Rev.
Thomas W. McNeely of Durham,
North Carolina, in town for the
occasion.

A son, Carl Elkins, welcomed
guests on behalf of the family
and invited a cousin, Hubert El
kins, as is the usual custom, to
return thanks for this day and
its blessings. Just before the
delicious food was eaten, Mrs.

sented the grandchildren in pre

lovely birthday cake embossed
in green and white. Others
brought gifts of remembrance to
this great gentleman.
Mr. Elkins doesn’t actually
partake of much of the food,
but he is certain that every
one else has an abundance.
During the day, Mr. Elkins
remarked to a frisnd that he
would be singing at the Por
terdale Baptist Chuch that even
ing and he just believed he would
sing "Since Jesus Came Into My
Heart.” About nine o’clock that
evening, the friend’s telephone
rang, and it was Mr. Charlie
saying, "I sang that song, but I
also sang another. It was "When
We All Get To Heaven”, and we
had a great time together.”

visited Mr. Elkins during the
day included: Mr. and Mrs.
