Death of Mr. James
Polk
Mr. James Polk, a native of Vance township, died in a
Charlotte hospital last Thursday night. Several days before, Mr. Polk cut his
face while shaving, and shortly afterward, anthrax, an unusual disease,
developed and no hope was held for his recovery. Funeral services were
conducted Friday by Rev. A.B. Haywood at Indian Trail Baptist church, of which
Mr. Polk had long been a member. The deceased is survived by his wife, five
children, and several brothers and sisters.

Death of Miss Minnie
Houston
Funeral services over the remains of Miss Minnie Houston
were held this afternoon at 1 o’clock at the home of Mr. W.D. Hawfield in the
Wesley Chapel community, and interment was in the cemetery here.
Miss Houston, who was well known and loved, died Monday
morning at the residence of Mr. Hawfield of influenza-pneumonia. For several
days, since pneumonia developed, she has been critically ill, but given every
attention by nurses and physicians it was hoped that her condition would take a
turn for the better, but she failed to revive. She was a splendid character,
kind-hearted, loving and sincere. She delighted in helping those who were in
need and went about doing good. She has long been a member of the Methodist
church.
Miss Houston was a daughter of the late James Houston. She
is survived by two sisters, Mrs. W.D. Hawfield and Miss Mollie Houston of
Monroe.
