GEORGE ELVIN LONDAGIN, SR.

George Elvin Londagin was born at Decatur, Arkansas, November 11, 1908 and passed away at his boyhood home in Coon Hollow (Gentry), November 2, 1932, at the age of twenty-three years, eleven months, and twenty-one days.

Most of George's boyhood life has been lived in Coon Hollow and his school days made friends for him in the Cherokee School except the last few years, he was enrolled at Bozarth. When George was not in school he was found busy at home about the little duties that make life worth while for father and mother.

He professed faith in Christ at the age of nineteen and joined the Baptist Church at Cherokee City, Arkansas. After the New Hope Church in Coon Hollow was organized he changed his membership and was ordained a Baptist Deacon. George was ever faithful to his calling, and has always lived a clean life.

He was married to Maxine Jenks, July 3, 1929. They made their home in Coon Hollow on farms joining George's old home until last fall when they moved to a farm near Maysville. George has worked hard and has his credit a good crop to be gathered.

He has been ill for several months, but it was only a few days that the doctor pronounced him to have walking typhoid. They brought him home to the loving care of his home only to be there until Wednesday morning when he passed away suddenly without warning to anyone.

George is survived by his wife and two children, Evelyn Sue, age two years and five months, and George Elvin, age five weeks; his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Londagin; four sisters, Mrs. Audry Cotton, Decatur, Mrs. Estell Amos of Coon Hollow, and Gertrude and Bertha Longdagin who attend high school in Decatur; three brothers, Luther, Vernon and Loyd, who are at home; and his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Dave Setser of Decatur. Also, a host of uncles, aunts, cousins, and friends are left to mourn his departure.

We all realize the George has gone to his "mansion not made with hands" and we know that he is in a world without sorrow, but we will miss the opening flower of sunshine here on earth.

Interment was made in the Falling Springs Cemetery after the funeral services conducted by Brother Ford at the Falling Springs Church Thursday afternoon. Because of the great host of friends it was perhaps the largest funeral procession that ever drove out of Coon Hollow.

George goes to be with his twin brother John, who passed on eighteen years ago and he testified that he was ready to go to his heavenly home, so to those who mourn for him, let us remember, "He has fought a fight, he has finished his course, he has kept his faith and there is laid up for him a crown of righteousness, which the Lord the righteous, judge, shall give him at that day."
