T L Haman Buried Friday At Vaiden

Funeral rites were held from the Presbyterian church Friday at 1 o'clock, for T L Haman, prominent lawyer, who died early Thursday morning in the Veterans hospital in Memphis, where he was carried ten days before. The service was conducted by the Rev. J W McNutt, pastor of the Shongalo Presbyterian church of Vaiden, with the Rev. W F Patch, pastor of the Houston Presbyterian church and the Rev. Geo. Williams, pastor of the Methodist church taking part. Burial followed in the cemetery at Vaiden with the Rev. E W Ford, of Goodman, lifelong friend of the family assisting Rev. McNutt.

Mr. Haman died a few days following his 68th birthday. A native of Hinds county, he was the son of Mrs. Adelaide Blanding Haman and the late Rev. Thomas Luther Haman, D D., who was for forty years pastor of the Shongalo church.

In 1908 Mr. Haman was married to Miss Willie May Clements, of Calhoun county. He was an elder in the Presbyterian church and for years, until a few months ago, taught the men's Sunday School Class.
