Obituary:From the Sunday's Commerical Appeal: Funeral services for Joel Echols Wynne, prominent cotton man who died early Saturday morning, Nov.24,1923, as a result of heart trouble, will be held this afternoon at the family residence, 1286 Peabody Avenue. The services will be conducted by the Rev.T.W.Lewis, pastor of the Madison Heights Methodist Church. Interment will be in the Elmwood cemetery.

Mr.Wynne was a native of Forrest City, Ark. He was the son of Capt.J.W.and Margaret Ross Wynne. In early life, he came to Memphis and established himself in business. He was 50 years of age last May. His education was at the famous Webb School at Bell Buckle, Tenn., the alumni of which have distinguished themselves all over the south. Mr.Wynne married Miss Edyth Malone, daughter of Dr.G.B.Malone. Besides his widow, he is survived by one daughter, Mrs. J.M.Draughon, and two brothers, Hugh Ross and Jesse W.Wynne. He was a steward of the Madison Heights Methodist church. Active pall bearers:James Draughon, W.T.Cole, T.B.King, W.H.Humphreys, W.B.Ross, John T.Fisher, Taylor Malone, and John W.Alderson. J.T.Hinton & Son will have charge of the arrangement.
