John Rutherford dies at Franklin
Funeral Services for John Rutherford, who has a brother and a sister in Rockdale, were held at Franklin at 2 p.m. Wednesday, with burial in the Franklin cemetery.
Rutherford was a brother of Mrs. W. T. Pearson Sr. and Ernest Rutherford of Rockdale. He died unexpectedly at his home Tuesday at the age of 69 years.
A resident of Franklin since 1918, Rutherford was editor and publisher of the Franklin Favorite, a weekly newspaper. He was one of the few "old timers" remaining in the weekly field and his paper was one of the only few of the one-man hand-set papers still in existence.
He formerly worked for The Franklin Texas, but had owned The Favorite the past 19 years.
