Obituary: DONAH J. ATKINS DEAD.
Died Yesterday Afternoon at Watts Hospital at 4:50.
After battling for five weeks with typhoid fever, partially recovering and then taking a back set, Donah J. Atkins died yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock at the Watts hospital.
The announcement of the death of Mr. Atkins will come as a surprise to many of his friends, for although he has been ill for some time, very few thought that the final summons was so near. At one time it was thought that he would recover but for the last few days he has been gradually sinking. Wednesday night his physicians thought that he would not Iast through the night. They had succeeded in breaking the fever and all day yesterday he had but little, but it had settled in the brain and it was known by those watching that he could not live.
The funeral will take place this afternoon at 3:30 at Berea church about five miles from the city on the Fayetteville Road. The services will be conducted by Rev C. J. Thompson.
Last night, the body was carried to the home of his brother, J. W. Atkins, on Wilkerson Avenue. The funeral party will leave the home today at 1:30. The Elk lodge of the city is requested to attend in a body as Mr. Atkins was a member of the order. He will be buried with the honors of the order.
Following are the pall and floral bearers. Pall bearers: Tom Ferrell, Roland Parker, V. Rae, R. P. Hackney, C.A. Crabtree, H. R. Walker and Charley Gulley. Floral bearers: S. B. Burch, J. Henry Canada, P. W. Vaughan and Dr. C. A. Adams.
Don Atkins was twenty-seven years old and was the son of Josiah and Mary Atkins, who live in the southwestern port of the county, about ten miles from the city. After attending school at the University], Mr. Atkins came to this city about four years ago and was first connected with the drugstore of Haywood & King. Later, and at the time of his death, he was druggist for P. W. Vaughan. He was considered one of the best druggists in this city. However, it was not this so much as the upright character, the sunny disposition and the genial manner that made him so popular in this city.
Besides a father and mother, he leaves three brothers, Messers J. R. S. Atkins, who lives on RFD No. 3 and . F. and J.W. Atkins of this city. He was a consistent Christian, having been a member of Mt Tirzah Baptist church for a number of years.
His death is one of the saddest in this community in a long time.
