MANY At FUNERAL Of
UNCLE JOE" fOLktS

The large concourse of relatives
and friends assembled at Centenary
Church Sunday afternoon to pay a
last tribute to all that was mortal of
the late Joseph E. Folkes. together
with the many beautiful floral de-
signs placed upon his casket and
I banked at the chancel of the sacred
edtise, were mute testim onials of the
love and high esteem in which the
deceased was held. When the life

Of all human knowledge.
To those who had daily intercourse
with Uncle Joe." as he was affec-
tionately called by the most of his
intimate friends, a rapid change in
his accustomed cheerfulness of spirit,
and a failing of strength. after the
sudden death of his son, the late
Minitree Foxes, was quite apparent.
MIR Folkes was of that kind, cour-
teous and sympa thetic nature which
endeared him to the hearts OF all
with whom he came in social or bust
ness contact and he will be sadly
missed by a host of friends.
If the measure of human greatness
Is summed up in strict integrity, hon.
esty of purpose, fidelity to truth,
good training in mind and morals
and devotion to duty as one sees it,
then Joseph E. Folkes may he 'classed
among the great men of earth. Men
learned TO know and love him for
what he was. for he was. to marked

The writer knew him personally for
only three years. but during that time
there was an intimate association and
communion OF thought between U.S.
and although we sometimes differed,

character and high ideals.
| 1t might truthfully be said of our
! departed friend that he had the per-
sonal affection of as many people as
any other of his native environments
and that IL every soul to whose hap

life is one continual day of Joy and
