Palmer of Ailey and Lanier of Soper
ton, together with the very best of

Mr. Memory was borned and reared

Mr. Memory was very much de
voted to his wife as a husband. Kind
and gentle in so many ways, he seem
ed to always believe in Minnie. He
was a good provider as well as an.
honest, hard-working man. A good
citizen of his county. I
He and his wife seemed to pull to-j
gether along life’s way, which was
the secret of their success. He was
a good father, a man who loved his
j children and made many hard strides
to give them a chance to develop into
useful men and women.
The funeral was held in the home
July 3rd by Rev. S. D. Walker, in
the presence of friends and relatives
who came to pay the last tribute of
respect that could be given to the de

• who came to see the last rites showed
that he was a man who was loved
and respected by all who knew him.
Weep not, dear friends but strive to
meet him in a world where sad part
ing comes no more.
Written by those who knew
him best.
