The Rev. Hope Henry Lumpkin distinguished Episcopal minister, who died at the Columbia Hospital early Tuesday morning after an extended illness, will be laid to rest in Elmwood Cemetery Thursday afternoon.

Funeral services will be held at 5 o'clock at Trinity Episcopal Church conducted by the Rt. Rev. Kirkman G. Finlay, bishop of the upper diocese of South Carolina, and the Rev. Henry D. Phillips, the rector.

The pallbearers will be, James G. Holmes, James H. Fowles, J. Edwin Belser, B. Lucas Webb, Christie Benet, Edward S. Cardwell, Dr. E. L. Green, O. Frank Hart and Judge M. S. Whaley.

The Rev. Mr. Lumpkin had been the rector of Grace Episcopal Church in Madison, Wisconsin, for the past 13 years. He had been ill in Madison for over two months and was brought to Columbia, his old home, less than two weeks ago.

Mr. Lumpkin was born at Union Point, Ga., October 9, 1882, the son of William Wallace and Annie Caroline Lumpkin, of that family, which has been distinguished in Georgia for many years. His father moved to Columbia during his early boy hood, and he was educated in the city schools and at the University of South Carolina from which he was graduated in 1904. He then studied theology at the University of the South at Sewanee from which he received the degree of Bachelor of Divinity in 1907. He played varsity football at both institutions and was a member of Tenne3ssee Omega chapter of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. He was ordained to the deaconate at Trinity church in Columbia.

He was married to Miss Mary Isobel Henderson of Columbia, at Trinity church in 1909. He served several charges in South Carolina and then went as a missionary to Fairbanks, Alaska, where he served for five years. From thence he went to Madison where a beautiful tribute will be paid him Thursday, when a duplicate funeral service will be held there. His friends were legion, and his death will spread sorrow, both here and at Madison.

Surviving Mr. Lumpkin, is his widow, Mrs. Mary Isobel Henderson Lumpkin, four sons, William Wallace Lumpkin, a theological student at Sewanee, Hope Henry Lumpkin Jr., a student at the University of Wisconsin, John Henderson Lumpkin, a high school student, and Robert Lucas Lumpkin a grammar school student of Madison, three brothers, Alva M. Lumpkin, Morris C. Lumpkin and Bryan H. Lumpkin, all of Columbia, three sisters, Mrs. E. B. Glenn of Ashville, N. C., Miss Katherine Lumpkin, a professor at Smith College, North Hampton, Mass., and Miss Grace Lumpkin, of New York, author of ,the recent novel. "To Make My Bread."
