VETERAN BAPTIST MINISTER PASSES

The dean of the Jackson County ministry, Mr. Queen had served the Tuckasegee Baptist Association as its moderator, as missionary of Jackson County, and in other capacities, and had served a number of the churches as pastor.
He was a son of Rev. Bennie Queen, pioneer Baptist minister, and was born at Tuckasegee 75 years ago, the 15th of this month. He made his home in upper Jackson County until a few years ago, when he moved to Webster.
Mr. Queen is survived by his widow, Mrs. Dorcas Ingabo Queen, three daughters, Mrs. Mary Jane Hooper of Tuckasegee, Mrs. Elbert (Ironi) Coward of Sylva, and Mrs. Joseph A. (Alva) Hawkins of Biltmore; three sons, L.T. [Theodore] Queen and J.E. [Edgar] Queen of Webster, Andrew B. Queen of Sylva; two brothers, Harmon R. Queen of Sylva, Gus B. Queen of Acme, Wyoming; a number of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and many other relatives and friends.
Funeral services will be conducted at Tuckasegee at two o'clock tomorrow, Friday afternoon, by Rev. Thad F. Deitz and Rev W.N. Cook. His brethren in the ministry will serve as pallbearers. Interment will be in the church yard at Tuckasegee [Baptist Church], with Masonic honors. Masons from Sylva, East LaPorte and Glenville will participate in the service.

A.C. QUEEN
Whereas, on September 5, 1935, God in His infinite wisdom has been pleased to bring to a close the earthly labor of our well beloved friend and co-worker, Brother A.C. [Asque Carson] Queen, and has called him to higher service above.
Whereas, Unaka Lodge No. 268 A.F. & A.M. has lost a most valued member, who throughout the years of his service has devoted to the up-building of the citizenship of his country, faithful in the discharge of his duties, and ever loyal to the ideals of masonry.
Therefore be it resolbed,
First: That we, the members of Unaka Lodge No. 268, humbly acept this dispensation of Providence, being assured of his happy entrance into the place prepared for him in the "House not made with hands."
Second: That we cherish his memory and strive to emulate the example of this brother and friend.
Third: That we express our deep sorrow and sense of personal loss and extend to the bereaved family our sincerest sympathy.
Fourth: That these resolutions be recorded in the minutes of this Lodge, a copy sent to each of the local papers and to the family of our deceased brother.
