Local Mention in Concord Tribune, June 6, 1925

Local Mention

The Cabarrus Savings Bank and Mrs. Pauline E. Goodman are administrators of the estate of the late Joseph F. Goodman.

A tent meeting will begin May 7th at Roberta Mill on the school grounds.

Everybody is invited to be present at the services and to hear the special music which is being prepared. Rev. F.M. Wilson is in charge of the meeting.

Work on the Bell and Harris funeral parlors which was begun last month is being pushed rapidly. A large number of hands are putting up the structure in which is considered almost record time. The building is directly opposite the post office.

John J. Wicker Jr. of Richmond was a recent visitor at the Y.M.C.A. in the interest of a tour to the Holy Land which he is planning to take next summer. Mr. Banks expects to get a party from Concord to go on this tour which Mr. Wicker is fostering.

Rev. Lawrene Little, former pastor of the Methodist Presbyterian Church here, received a diploma this week at Davidson College for having completed the work at that institution. Mr. Little is now engaged in work among the young people of the Methodist Presbyterian Church.

Among the Concord boys who have graduated from college this year are Walace Morris, who received his diploma from Davidson College early this week, and Marvin Long, who will leave Monday for State College, where he will graduate in the textile course which he was taking.

There will be no movies tonight at the Y.M.C.A. owing to the fact that the Chautauaua is presenting the play, “Give and Take.” It was decided to postpone the moving picture program until Monday night, at which time the Chautauqua program is not one which appeals to the boys and girls.

The continued hot weather has caused an unusually large number of people to use the Y swimming pool this week. Over 400 persons took a plunge Friday, which is a record for any day of the first week’s bathing. Continued cold weather kept the pool from being opened at its usual time this year.

J.B. Robertson, county superintendent, will leave today for Guilford county where he will attend the 154th celebration of the founding of Friends Church. After leaving the church Mr. Robertson will go to Chapel Hill, where he will attend the class reunion at the University. He graduated in 1905.

Word was received by Fred R. Shipherd Friday night which stated that his father died late that afternoon. No particulars could be learned as to the cause although it was stated that he was in ill health for some time prior to his death. Funeral services will be held in Statesville tomorrow, the hour not having been set yet.

“Aunt” Nancy Shinn, an aged and respected colored woman, died at the home of her daughter, Alice Campbell, this morning after a long illness. She was over 0- years of age. Three children survive her. The funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon at 3 o’clock at the colored Lutheran Church on East Corbin street.

A telegram received this morning by Secretary Blanks announced that the Washington tourists arrived Friday in the Captiol City in fine shape after their two-day trip. The only mishap on the journey to Washington was that a drive shaft on the Dixie coach was broke near Mebane necessitating a delay of several hours while it was being repaired.

The condition of Henry Eudy, son of Mr. and Mrs. Martin L. Eudy, is still unimproved, despite the fact that he has submitted to three operations since meeting with the accident some weeks ago. While playing with friends, he fell and cut his arm badly on a piece of glass, making a severe wound which has caused him much suffering at times, it is said.

The drive for funds to relieve suffering among the families of men killed in the Coal Glen disaster will be continued today. No funds will be received after tonight. Final reports, according to Rev. W.A. Jenkins, head of the local Red Cross will be made in Monday afternoon.
