Mrs. Rebecca Anne Furr Dies

Mrs. R.A. Furr of Bear Creek died Monday morning about 10:30 o’clock after a long sickness of several months’ duration, aged 72 years, four months and 22 days. Her funeral was held at her church at Old Bear Creek Monday morning at 10:30 o’clock, in the presence of a very large throng of sorrowing relatives and friends. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. B.G. Whitley of Albemarle. Interment was in the graveyard at the church.

Nine children survive—Misses Maggie, Annie, and Josephine; Berry and Phillip, at home; and Mrs. John Page of Albemarle; Mrs. Adam Furr of Bear Creek, and Mrs. Marshall Furr of Millingport. We tender our heartfelt sympathy to the family.
