Miss Opal Belk, age 76, was laid to rest in Greenwood cemetery Monday following last rites conducted from the Burkhart Funeral home at 4 p.m. Monday. The Rev.

Miss Belk died at her home, 71 West Main Street, at 7:30 p.m. Friday of last week. She had been ill for three weeks. Death was attributed to a cerebral hemorrhage.
Serving as pallbearers at the rites were Ralph Melton, Lawrence McClain and Ben Keaton, all of Greenwood; Henry Boaz, of Chicago, Illinois; Alfred Ward, of Monrovia and Ted Ward, of Belfontaine, Ohio.
The daughter of Alfrod T. and Amanda Belk, both deceased, Miss Belk was born at Nineveh on March 16, 1872. She was graduated from grad and high school at Nineveh.
Her late home, where she lived for 47 years, was to her relatives a haven upon which they could always depend for comfort. It was a place where anyone was welcome. A number of her friends and relatives knew Miss Belk as "Aunt Took." She was a quiet, unassuming woman, greatly loved by those who knew her.
Two sisters, Mrs. Ada Royce, of Greenwood and Mrs. Ethel Ward of Indianapolis, survive.
