"Until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand."
With that thought in mind, Emmitt Burien Crittenden, a life long
resident of Sabine Parish, was laid to rest Saturday, following a
brief illness with cancer.

His funeral was held in Alford Heights Baptist Church, followed
by burial in Pine Knot Cemetery.

Mr. Crittenden, a retired salesman at Warmack Motor Co., where
he worked for 19 years, died Feb. 24, 1983, at P and S Hospital
in Shreveport, where he was admitted on Feb. 19, his 73rd
birthday.

He was well known throughout much of Sabine Parish, and was an
avid sportsman, spending countless hours hunting the woods, and
fishing the streams and ponds in the area.

Aside from being a person who would not deny a hand of
friendship to anyone in need of help, Mr. Crittenden was also a
loving family man, with an even stronger love for the Lord.

He was active in his church life, and was a charter member of
Alford Heights Baptist Church.

It was his unselfish attitude and concern for others, that may
best be remembered by his many relatives and friends.

He is survived by his wife, Ethelene Crittenden of Many, Also
two sons, Bernice Wayne, his wife Gayla, and children Robert
Wayne, Sherman Wade, and Romona Jeanne, all of Zwolle, and
Charles William, his wife Vickie, and daughters, Heather Dawn,
and Christy Denise, all of Keithville.

daughters Alison Alayn, Amy Lynn, and Bethany Claire, all of Mt.
Juliet, Tenn., Mrs. Martha Lynn Anderson, her husband Jimmy Don,
and children, Donna Lynn, and William Shane, all of Shreveport,
and Mrs. Norma Beth Guillory, her husband Kenneth, and children
Christopher Michael, and Jennifer Lynn, all of the U. S. Air
Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo.

Other survivors include two brothers, Lyman, and Johnny
Crittenden of Many; and two sisters, Mrs. Daisey Lewing of
Fisher, and Mrs. Cassie Harper of Many; and a host of nieces and
nephews.

Officiating the funeral were Bro. Earl Marr, and Bro. A. J.
Dupree, former pastors of Alford Heights Baptist Church, and long
time friends of the deceased, and Rev. Don Hagar, pastor of
Carson Baptist Church, Zwolle.
