Rev James W. Parker pastor of the First Baptist church read the opening scripture, and Rev. Winston Bryant pastor of the Presbyterian church offered the opening prayer.

In her quiet life she was able to I,part to her five daughters those sterling qualities which have made them women who have commanded the highest regards of all who know them.
