Funeral services over the remains of Mr. Jesse H.
Locke were held at Friendship cemetery shortly after
noon Sunday, conducted by Rev. J. M. Carpenter,

resulted in his death.  In months gone by he had
suffered two other strokes.

Mr. Locke was for many years a citizen of Columbus,
and after the death of his wife about a year ago, went to
the home of Mrs. Williams where he has since lived.
He was a brother of Mr. T. J. Locke, Sr., of this city, 
and was well known and loved here.

At the funeral Sunday, the following friends acted as
pallbearers:  Battle Bell, J. R. Richards, R. O. Brooks,
G. D. Harris, C. F. Sherrod, Sr., and W. C. Beard.
