R.C. Underwood of Youngsville, N.C., passed away at his home on last Sunday morning, a victim of pneumonia. He contracted influenza which later developed into a very serious case of pneumonia. Mr. Underwood was a progressive citizen of his county and interested in education. He is the father of nine children, three of whom have attended school at Elon. They were George Dewey, Jack, and Eva. George is a graduate of Elon and is now on the faculty of the Louisburg High School.
Mr. Underwood was given a Masonic funeral and was buried at Oak Level on Monday afternoon. He was sixty-one years of age. He was a great friend of Elon and was well known by many here.
Coach F.B. Corboy attended the funeral and represented Elon there. There are many friends here who sympathize with the family in their trying hour.
