John D. Back Passes Away
On Thursday, December 24, 1953, like the folding of the petals of a new bloomed flower, the life and all that was mortal of John D. Back, a son of the late John S. Back and Martha Hampton Back lost its activity and the spirit winged its way to God who gave it. At the time of death he was 31 years of age.
Although he was not as strong as most men, no one ever knew a more friendlier or more manlier young man, meeting everyone with a kind word and pleasant smile.
