Voice of £aitsde
BY MARY P. McGUIRE "Sorrow has its useful lessons when it is legitimate and death is the gate that opens out of earth toward the house eternal in the heavens. If we lose them, heaven gains them." Last week two very fine women left our midst. Mrs. Bianche Brown’s funeral Saturday was marked by sprays, baskets. baskets and beautiful floral designs from local, state and national organizations. Mrs. Brown, who resided on the Eastside as a child, served well in Mt. Moriah Baptist Church and at Patton Funeral Home and General Hospital where she died. Hundreds paid respect to her Saturday at St. John Baptist Church. Rev. E. T. Johnson, Mt. Moriah pastor, and Rev. A. J. Brown, St. John pastor, were in charge. * * * The ole scribe, who was once over the state nurses, can say her place will not be easily filled.
In the early 30’s when the A.U.K. and D. of A. was go- MARY ing big the late Mrs. Elluna B. McCray, then state queen, played a very important part. Her funeral was Friday at Emmanuel Baptist Church where Rev. F. R. Hatcher, pastor, was in charge. The Elks were really on the job. Among Mrs. McCray’s relatives the ole scribe talked with w r ere Mmes. Alice Chandler, Anna B. Brown. Cathryn Cove, Ida Taylor. Costella McKatie Lus, a stepdaughter. Rev. H. Chandler and Rev. Hinkle. As a six-year secretary of the Bethel Council, under the late Mrs. Lillian Williams, many must agree Mrs. McCray w T as a real leader. For many vears she lived in the 1300 block of Roosevelt. * * * The mentioned ladies left a contribution to humanity. “As a tree standeth so it falleth. Do what you can today, tomorrow may be too late.” ★ * * Other sad news is that a school chum. Mrs. Mary Jennings of 2521 Manlove, has been taken back to the hospital. A sister of Mrs. Idella Overton, she is widely knowm in musical circles. Mrs. Overton said her sister’s condition is fair at General Hospital. * * * Speaking of old friends Mrs. Georgia Jacobs Miyo 01 • V Continued on Page 6
