Mr. M.G. Olive, who lived near here, died at the Smithfield Memorial Hospital Friday night. He had been critically ill for several days. About a week before his death, he was operated on for appendicitis and from that time there was little hope for his recovery, his appendix having ruptured before the operation was performed. He was 69 years of age.
The funeral service was held at the home Saturday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock, conducted by Rev. R.L. Gay, and interment was made in the cemetery at Pisgah church. A large crowd of relatives and friends attended the funeral. The floral offering was beautiful.
He is survived by a wife and several children who have the sympathy of the community in this hour of bereavement.
