Burial Will Be Tuesday Afternoon, Services At First Baptist Church At 3 O'Clock
Albert Frank Agee, age 60 years, died at his home at 115 Chestnut Street Sunday afternoon about six o'clock after a short illness. Mr. Agee was attended by a local physician shortly before he died.

He had been deeply interested in politics , was high in republican political councils, was Congressional committeeman for two terms and was deeply interested in all civic affairs.
He was a member of one of the pioneer families of the county, was friendly and yet firm in his convictions and acquired and held the esteem of everyone. He established the furniture and undertaking business of which he was the head, in LaFollette in 1911, with W. A. W. Carden. This partnership continued until a few years ago when Frank Agee, Jr. became associated with his father in the business. He had been a member of the masonic lodge, the Knights of Pythias, and the Juniors. He was a member of the First Baptist Church and gave liberally to the church benevolences.

He was one of the closest friends of the late J. Will Taylor and aided him in all his campaigns for election to congress. Had Mr. Agee lived he would have been 60 years old on August 12.
Pallbearers will be: W. H. Parrott, Sr., E. E. Hill, Marshall McGhee, E. L. Saulsberry, Louis Balloff, and Dr. W. C. Adams. Honorary pallbearers will be all his friends.

The body lay in state from 1 to 3 o'clock and many people viewed it before the service. Burial was in the Woodlawn Cemetery following services. Mr. Agee, who died last Sunday evening, would have been 60 years of age August 7. His full name was Alfred Frank Agee. Mr. Agee was held in high esteem by everyone who knew him. By request of Mrs. Agee the following sentiment is given:
"We loved him, yes we loved him
But the angels loved him more
And they have swiftly called him
To yonder's shining shore
The golden gates were opened
A gentle voice said Come
And with farewells unspoken
He calmly entered home."
