Roy Head Memorial Bridge
To Be Dedicated Saturday
All White County is looking
withj|keenest anticipation to the
greatj.throng of people that will
attend the dedication of the Roj
Head Memorial bridge, which
spans Little Tesnatee river, just
north of here, next Saturday, Dec.
6, at 2 130 P. M.
White County Post No. 12 of
the American Legion have labored
unceasingly for some time that a
most interesting program to Geor¬
gia’s first ex service man to be
killed in action in the World War
might have some of the state’s
most prominent men to speak on
this occasion.
The Atlanta Journal will have a
correspondent and a photographer,
The Associated Press wiil send a
story of this dedication to their
many members over the U. S., and
The Atlanta Constitution informs
their local correspondent they will
be present.
Roy Head, who was attached to
the U. S. S. Finland as chief gun¬
ner’s mate, was buried at sea the
same day his ship was torpedoed,
Oct. 28, 1 9 i7, somewhere in the
European waters. White County
Post feels it is so fitting that this
highway bridge be named for Roy
Head.
The ceremonies at the dedication
will be brief on account of it being
out-of-doors, but it will be very im¬
pressive. It is hoped to have Mrs.
V. E. Head unveil the tablet, if
her health permits.
The program will be as follow^
with possibly some minor changes :
Invocation by Rev. Wm. Green¬
way.
Address by Hon. Edgar B. Dun¬
lap, Gainesville, past state com¬
mander, and representing J. R
Fitzpatrick state commander Geor¬
gia department American Legion.
Address by lion, John N. Hol¬
der, chr’m. State Highway Board.
Address by Hon. John Paschali,
managing eeitor The Atlanta Jour¬
nal.
Address by Governor Clifford
Walker.
It is hoped that all the ex-service
men jn the pounty will attend the
dedicatory ceremonies.

In Flanders field, the poppies grow
Between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place;-,md in the sky,
the larks still bravely singing,fly.
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset
glow
Loved and were loved, and now
we lie

Take up our quarrel with the foe!
To you, from falling hands we
throw
The torch. Be yours to lift it high !
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies
grow
In Flanders fields.

graph to Parks the sympathy of
the League in his sickness and its
hopes for his complete recovery.
Mr. Clarence Sutton, vice-presi¬

CLEVELAND, GEORGIA, DEC. 5 . 1924 .
Mrs, Alanda Williams
Dies at Helen
On Sunday last at 3 p. m. there
was laid to rest in Nacoochee ceme¬
tery the body of Mrs. Alanda
Williams, step-mother of Mr. M.
J. Williams, of Ile'en. The ser¬
vices were conducted by Rev. Wm.
Greenway and Rev. J. K. Coit.
A quartette of students from the
Nncoochee Institute furnished
beautiful and appropriate music.
Mrs. Williams was born in
Union County 79 years ago at
jGaddistown. Her maiden name
‘being Gaddis and her father being
the first white man to settle in that
section of Georgia. Gaddistown is
situated in the now famous Toccoa
Basin of which we have heard so
much since the new highways are
being built.
She joined the Baptist Church
when quiet young and remained
faithful to her Lord until the end
came. Her death was peaceful
and calm ; literally, she fell asleep
in Jesus. And a trio consisting of
Revs. Greenway and Coit and Mr.
Tom Bell sang very feelingly :
•‘Asleep in Jesus” at the grave.
All w'ao knew her were unani¬
mous in their belief that Mrs.
j Williams was a real saint of God
quiet calm, self-contained. Not
given to many words she was a
real mother in Israel and while she
never had children of her own her
chief joy was to love folks, es
pecially little children. And the
children whom she has helped and
blessed during her life shall surely
ri -eup and call her blessed.
At her death she was the only
living representative of a large
family, and those surviving her
being step-children and step-grand
children.
“Asleep in Jesus. Oh how sweet.
To be for such a slumber meet
With holy confidence to sing
That death hath lost its venomed
sling.”
