"A large company of relatives and friends gathered at the Literberry Baptist Church Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock for the funeral of the late Mrs. J. M. Liter (Mary E. (Henderson) Liter), whose death occurred Tuesday. The services were in charge of Rev. F. M. Crabtree of Pisgah, a former pastor of the deceased, assisted by Rev. F. B. Madden of this city and Rev. O. E. Keltner of Literberry. A quartet composed of Mrs. John Guy, Mrs. Earl Underbrink, J. A. Liter and Edward Liter, with Mrs. H. D. Crum at the piano sang, "We Are Going Down the Valley" and "Some Day We'll Understand." The members of the Sunday school class taught by Mrs. Liter sang "God Will Take Care of You". Those young women were also in charge of the flowers, which had been sent in great profusion by friends of the deceased. Interment was in Arcadia cemetery, the bearers being Durrell Crum, Ona Crum, Willard Young, Alonzo Ratliff, Arthur Liter and John Daniels.
The deceased was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jeremiah Henderson and was born in the Literberry vicinity sixty-one years ago. Her entire life had been spent in that community, and her life had been such that her friends were numbered by the score. She had been prominent iin the social life of Literberry, and in the church and Sunday school work was always found at her post. Her death came as a result of a two week's illness of pneumonia. She was critically ill from the first, and altho everything was done in an effort to bring about her recovery, her condition grew constantly worse until death came as indicated. The deceased is survived by her husband; one sister, Mrs. S. H. Crum of Literberry, and two brothers, William Henderson of Little Indian and Taylor Henderson of Jacksonville. In his address, Rev. Mr. Crabtree, a farmer resident of Literberry, referred to the community as one of the very best he had ever known and mentioned the influence that Mrs. Liter exerted in community life."
