Died Jan 1 (1959)
Shortly after eight o'clock Thursday morning, January 1, Brantley County lost one of its most beloved citizens when Mr. Charles Harold Penland, 61, passed away at the Clinch Memorial Hospital in Homerville after an extended illness.
Mr. Penland was born in Roswell, Georgia, and was the son of the late Jacob and Mattie Sewell Penland. He received his education in the Roswell and Atlanta school systems. He was a veteran of World War 1, having served in the U. S. Navy. After his discharge from service, he was sales manager of a business firm in Atlanta until he moved to South Georgia in 1933.
He was a member of the Atkinson Methodist Church and on the Board of Stewards. At the time of his death, he was serving his second term as a Brantley county commissioner.
Survivors include his wife, Mrs. Mary Wainright Penland of Hortense; one sister, Mrs. Marion P. Candler of Atlanta; one sister-in-law, Mrs. Katheryn Penland of Kingsport, Tenn., and Mrs. Bud Ruffner of Decatur, Alabama.
Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon, January 4 at three o'clock from the Atkinson Methodist Church, with the Rev. J. M. Yarborough and the Rev. J. A. Wiggins conducting the rites in the presence of a large number of sorrowing relatives and friends who had come to pay their last tribute to a true Christian gentleman.
Interment followed in Smyrna Cemetery.
Active pallbearers, all nephews, were Messrs. Wain Brooker, Bob Allen, Jr., R. J. Wainright, J. Owen Wainright, W. M. Wainright, Elzie Wainright, Everett Wainright, and D. W. Wainright.
The honorary escort was composed of Messrs. R. B. Brooker, R. C. Harrell, Jr., Silas Lee, Alfred Thomas, Jr., Owen Lee, Charlie Kizer, Bill Norton, Neil Hendrix, Louis Prescott, G. A. Lloyd, D. F. Herrin, John Wilson, Herschell Herrin, J. Walter Crews, Claude A. Smith, Judge Cecil Roddenberry, J. W. Walker, and Hoke Wilson.
The many beautiful floral offerings attested to the high esteem in which Mr. Penland was held, and he will be sadly missed in his home, his church, and throughout the county.
The family has the sympathy of their many friends in their bereavement.
The Chambless Funeral Home of Nahunta was in charge of arrangements.
