Francis Hewitt

The many friends of Francis Hewitt were shocked to hear of his death which occurred on Monday morning. The funeral service was held in the Baptist Church on Wednesday afternoon, and the interment was at Mount Cemetery.

Francis Hewitt was born at Belle Vernon, Penn., February 28th, 1899, and came to Southern Pines with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.T. Hewitt in 1910 and has lived here since that date. He was popular in school and among his young friends as he grew into manhood. On October 18, 1918, he married Miss Francena Jonker of Southern Pines. In 1917 he entered the Southern Pines Post Office as a clerk, which position he held until a few weeks ago when he was obliged to give up his position on account of his health. He made many friends through his position in the Post Office and will be greatly missed.

The sympathy of the entire community has been extended to his wife and his parents and brothers and sisters who survive him.
